Model DS104/DS106/DS108/DS 116 Dual Speed Hub Installation Guide
The NETGEAR™ Model DS104, Model DS106, Model DS108, and Model
DS116 Dual Speed Hubs are network hubs that enable users to mix and match
10 and 100 megabit per second (Mbps) devices on the same network. This
capability eliminates the high cost and complexity of separate network
equipment for 10 and 100 Mbps users. These four hubs, also known as the
DS100 Series hubs, are ideal for s mall networks in transition from 10 to 100
Mbps and for linking networks operating at different speeds.
All four hub models connect PCs to share printers, files, Internet access, and email communications. Each network port coordinates with the connected PC to
run at 10 or 100 Mbps, making network configuration and upgrade effortless. In
addition, the 10 and 100 Mbps network segments are internal ly brid ged to form
one network, providing full connectivity among all users.
The DS100 Series hubs have the following key features:
• Per port, autosensing, dual-speed (10/100 Mbps) operation
• IEEE 802.3u standard compliance for int eroperation with all 100BASE-TX
Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) products and 802. 3i standard compliance for
interoperation with all 10BASE-T Ethernet products
• Easy Plug-and-Play instal lat ion with no software to configure, saving time
and minimizing the potential for configuration errors
• Ability of each port on the hub to independently detect the speed of the
attached devic e and to automat ically connect at the appropriat e speed
• Internally bridge d 10 and 1 00 Mbps ne twork s egment s to for m one net work,
providing full connectivity among all user s
• Chassis equipped with:
— Four (Model DS104), six (Model DS106), eight (Model DS108), or 16
(Model DS116) 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX ports to provide fast
information exchange , r esource sharing, and client or peer-to-peer
communication using simple Category 5 UTP wiring
— Built-in vista LEDs on each network port clearly indicating individual
port status
— Additional LEDs providing network traffic status for the hub
— T wo LED bar graphs (on the Model DS10 4, Mo del DS106, and Model
DS108 only) providing onlin e status of netwo rk utiliza tion and ale rting
you to potential network overload
— Normal/Uplink push button for simplifying network extension
• Compact, durable design that enables ta bletop or wall mounting
• Limited fiv e- year wa rranty on th e hub and three-ye ar warranty on the power
adapter
