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 small 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 internally bridged to form
one network, providing full connectivity among all users.
Features
The DS100 Series hubs have the following key features:
• Per port, autosensing, dual-speed (10/100 Mbps) operation
• IEEE 802.3u standard compliance for interoperation 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 installation 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 device and to automatically connect at the appropriate speed
• Internally bridged 10 and 100 Mbps network segments to form one network,
providing full connectivity among all users
• 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, resource 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
— Two LED bar graphs (on the Model DS104, Model DS106, and Model
DS108 only) providing online status of network utilization and alerting
you to potential network overload
— Normal/Uplink push button for simplifying network extension
• Compact, durable design that enables tabletop or wall mounting
• Limited five-year warranty on the hub and three-year warranty on the power
adapter

Vista RJ-45 Network Ports with Built-in LEDs
The front panel of the Model DS104 hub provides four vista RJ-45 network
ports (six on the Model DS106 hub, eight on the Model DS108 hub, 16 on the
Model DS116 hub). These standard RJ-45 connectors accept two-pair or fourpair Category 5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) copper wiring (only two pairs are
used). The RJ-45 connector uses an 8-pin interface. Two LEDs are positioned at
the top corners of each RJ-45 connector. The left indicator is the 100 Mbps
Link/Receive LED, and the right indicator is the 10 Mbps Link/Receive LED.
The illustration shows the Model DS116 Link/Receive LEDs. The LEDs for the
Model DS104, Model DS106, and Model DS108 hubs are identical. The table
that follows describes the LEDs for all three models.

complete before installing the hub.
Install the Hub
Install the Hub on a Flat Surface
If installing the hub on a flat surface such as a tabletop, make sure the bottom of
the chassis is clean and dry.
To install the hub on a flat surface:
1. Set the hub on a table or shelf so that it has at least 2 inches (5 cm) of
space on all sides.
2. Connect the power cord(s) first to the power entry receptacle on the
hub rear panel and then to the wall.
Install the Hub on a Wall
If installing the hub on a wall, make sure you have a Phillips screwdriver.
To install the hub on a wall:
1. Set the mounting screws and anchors (supplied with the wall mount
hardware) in the wall.
2. Using the slots on the bottom of the hub, hang the hub on the wall.
3. Connect the power cord(s) first to the power entry receptacle on the

Set Normal/Uplink Push Button
The Normal/Uplink push button on the front panel of the hub allows you to
select the Uplink (MDI) or Normal (MDI-X) position for port 4 on the Model
DS104 hub, port 6 on the Model DS106 hub, port 8 on the Model DS108 hub,
and port 16 on the Model DS116 hub. All other ports are wired Normal for
direct connection to PCs.
Select Normal if connecting a PC, server, or router to the port. Select Uplink if
connecting a hub or switch. The Normal/Uplink push button eliminates the need
to use a crossover cable.
Caution:
wiring with 100 Mbps certified connectors. NETGEAR highly
recommends using Category 5 cable so your network can operate at
either 10 or 100 Mbps.

Verify the Installation
When installation is complete and power has been applied to the hub, the
following conditions should exist:
• Power LED is on.
• Link LED on each connected port is on.
• Utilization LEDs on the front panel are blinking when data is being received
by any port in the hub, and the Link/Receive LED on the connected port is
blinking when data is being received by that port.
If there are any problems, refer to the Troubleshooting table.

Make sure the power cord is properly connected and

Check the crimp on the RJ-45 connectors and make sure
that the plug is properly inserted and locked into the port
at both the hub and the device. Make sure cabling is
Category 5 and meets the requirements for 100 Mbps
operation.
Check installation of the network interface cards and
verify that they are 100 Mbps capable. Be sure that the
proper software driver is loaded. Check link LEDs on the
network adapter card and PC or workstation. Make sure
cables and connectors are correct.
Excessive collisions can be caused by incorrect cabling,
connectors, or wiring techniques or can occur when the
network is too busy. Ensure that the PC at the far end is
set to half-duplex mode and is operating properly.
Check the Normal/Uplink push button on the front panel.
