User Manual
FAQ
How many devices can I connect to this switch?
The TRENDnet TEG-S83 provides eight Gigabit Ethernet ports, allowing you to connect up to eight wired devices directly. You can further expand your network by connecting additional switches to any of these ports, though the total number of devices may be limited by your network's overall capacity and configuration.
Does this switch support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
No, the TEG-S83 does not support Power over Ethernet. It is a standard Gigabit switch that provides data connectivity only. If you need to power devices like IP phones, wireless access points, or security cameras through the Ethernet cable, you would require a PoE-enabled switch or separate PoE injectors.
What is the switching capacity of this switch?
The TEG-S83 offers 16 Gbps of total switching capacity, which means all eight ports can operate at full Gigabit speed (1 Gbps per port) simultaneously without performance degradation. This non-blocking architecture ensures smooth data transfers even when multiple devices are communicating at maximum bandwidth.
Is this switch managed or unmanaged?
This is an unmanaged switch, meaning it operates automatically without requiring configuration. It supports basic Layer 2 switching functions like MAC address learning and forwarding, with features like auto-negotiation and auto-MDI/MDIX handled automatically. For advanced features like VLANs, QoS, or port management, you would need a managed switch.
What type of warranty does this switch include?
TRENDnet provides a 3-year limited warranty for the TEG-S83 switch. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. Some resellers may offer extended warranty options, and the switch also includes lifetime technical support from TRENDnet for assistance with installation and troubleshooting.
Can this switch be mounted in a rack?
The TEG-S83 is designed as a desktop switch with a compact form factor. While it doesn't include built-in rack ears or a rack-mountable chassis, you can use third-party shelf mounts or rack trays to install it in a standard 19-inch rack. Its small dimensions (6.30" × 4.29" × 0.98") make it suitable for placement on rack shelves alongside other equipment.
