TL-SG2224WEB AWARDED EDITORS CHOICE BY PC MAGAZINE

Due to its convincing lab testing statistics, easy WEB management and high quality with competitive price, TL-SG2224WEB, TP-Link´s 24-port WEB Managed Pure-Gigabit Switch, is awarded Editors´Choice by PC MAGAZINE in a special test of pure-gigabit switch organized by PC LABS China Laboratory of PC MAGAZINE.

In this pure-gigabit Ethernet switch test, PC LABS China Laboratory implemented the testing for 8 layer-2 pure-gigabit switch including function, performance, head of line, address learning, broadcast forward & delay and error frame filtering. Among the 8 models, TP-Link´s 24-port Web Managed pure-gigabit switch (TL-SG2224WEB) tops out with good praise from PC MAGAZINE: "TP-Link´s TL-SG2224WEB is the other model that provides Chinese graphic and Chinese language management interface while it supports VLAN segment, port isolating and ACL based on port and MAC. This switch is suitable for small LAN users which is short of professional network administrator and is no need to have complicated control functions. This easy-to-manage switch has high quality with competitive price which is worth recommending."

Below is the original text to the evaluation of TL-SG2224WEB from PC LABS China Lab.
Merit: Chinese Language WEB management, easy to use, high quality with competitive price.
Grade:

TL-SG2224WEB is a pure-gigabit Ethernet switch with WEB management. It provides 24 10/100/1000M auto-negotiation RJ-45 ports. Additionally it is designed with 2 1000M SFP expandable interfaces. It provides WEB management functions in Chinese language interface so that users can carry out the configuration to the switch conveniently.

In throughput test, this switch can realize 1000M all wire rate forwarding for the three kinds of data frames selected by us which are 64, 512 and 1518. It has very short forward delay that is within 3s when we try the above three kinds of testing frames in store-and-forward mode. This switch passed congestion control test smoothly. Even when there is some congestion occurred in some port, other ports can still work in a normal way.

Security is always considered to be one of the most important factors when network equipments are used. TL-SG2224WEB supports Port VLAN, Tag VLAN and MTU VLAN which can enhance data security by efficiently limiting broadcast domain, preventing virus from accessing through such way and segmenting work group conveniently. It will reduce much trouble to network administrator if the switch device has some error-detect function. TL-SG2224WEB is a switch with VCT built-in which enables users to detect directly the work status of network cable. For example, it can detect if there is any link down and where the link is down, etc. This will avoid any misjudgement to the switch´s work status due to network cable problem.

TL-SG2224WEB also supports port-mirror function which can help network administrator to monitor the network and detect the network problem. And it supports MAC address management and static MAC address table which enables administrator to manage different kinds of users and enhance the network control.
