Congratulation s on your purchase of the NETGEA R™ Model FS102, Model FS104, or Model
FS108 Fast Ethernet Switch—a low-cost, high-performance network solution designed to support
power workgroups operating at 10 megabits per second (Mbps) or 100 Mbps.
In this installation guide that describes how to install and use the switches, all three switches are
referred to collectively as the Model FS102/FS104/FS108 switch. Each switch is listed
individually when information is provided that refers to a specific model.
Features
The Model FS102/FS104/FS108 switch has the following features:
• Two (Model FS102 switc h), four (Model FS104 swit ch), and eight (Model FS 108 switch)
vista automatic speed-sensing 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports that provide fast information
exchange, resource sharing, and client or peer-to-peer communication using standard
Category 5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable
• Automatic address learning function to build the packet forwarding information table (The
table contains up to 8,000 MAC addresses; that is, the switch can support networks with as
many as 8,000 devices.)
• Autosensing full-duplex or half-duplex mode of operation (Full-duplex mode doubles
throughput of point-to-point connections by letting individual ports transmit and receive
concurrently when the connecting device also supports full-duplex mode.)
• Wire-speed filtering and forwardi ng to supp ort the “tr affic cop” functio n by directin g traffic
to the appropriate port or network segment without slowing down the traffic
• Easy plug-and-play installation with no software to configure, which saves time and
minimizes the potential for configuration errors
• Normal/Uplink p ush button to simplify ne twork extensi on (The s witch can be connected to
another switch or hub using a standard , straight-through cable.)
• Two vista RJ-45 connec tor ports on the Model FS102 swit ch, four vista RJ-45 connector
ports on the Model FS104 switch, and eight vista RJ-45 connector ports on the Model FS108
switch (Each port has built-in LEDs to monitor individual port status.)
• LEDs that provide network traffic status and data transmission sp eed
• IEEE 8023u standard compliance, allowing incorporation with other 100BASE-TX Fast
Ethernet (100 Mb ps) products
• IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T standard compliance
• Compact, sturdy metal case design that enables easy desktop, wall-mount, or under-desk
installation

FDX/AUT O Duplex Toggle Switches
Full-duplex mode is supported for all 10/100 Mbps ports and allows the port to transmit and
receive data at the same time. Full-duplex operation applies only to point-to-point access (for
example, when a switch is connected to a PC, a server, or another switch).
Setting the toggle switch to AUTO on the 10/100 Mbps port enables the port to determine duplex
mode automatically. In this mode of operation, the 10/100 Mbps port operates in either full- or
half-duplex, depending on the operating mode of the remote port. If the remote port cannot
provide the proper signal to indicate its capability, the 10/100 Mbps port on the switch defaults to
half-duplex mode. Repeaters and hubs use a common collision domain for all communications
and cannot commu nicate in ful l-du plex mode. The assoc iated 1 0 Mbp s port on the swi tch sho uld
be set to auto-duplex operatio n whe n conn e ct ing to thes e type s of devices.
One toggle switch is assigned to each 10/100 Mbps port and can be set to full-duplex (FDX) mode
or auto-duplex (AUTO) mode.

as photocopy machine or arc welder).
Install the Switch
To install your switch on a flat surface, you do not need any special tools. Be sure the switch is
positioned with at least 2 inches of space on all sides for ventilation.
To install the switch on a wall, measure the dista nce between the moun ting holes on the ba ck of
the switch and mark the wall to match the location of the mounting holes on the switch. At the
marks, screw into the wall the two screws in the mounting kit included in your package contents.
Choose a location that i s near the devices to be connected, is close to an elec trical outlet, and
provides at least 2 inches of space all arou nd the switch for ventilation.
Connect Devices to the Switch
Before connecting the switch, be sure you review “Applications” for to determine the appropriate
configuration for your networking needs.
To connect the switch:
1. Connect the devices to the 10/100 Mbps ports on the switch, using Category 5 UTP
cable and an RJ-45 plug.
Note: Ethernet specifications limit the cable length between your PC or server and the
switch to 328 feet (100 meters).
2. Set the Normal/Uplink push button.
The Normal/Uplink push button eliminates the need to use a crossover twisted pair cable for
daisy-chaining or cascadin g. Use the fol lowing guidelin es to configure port 1 and port 2 on
the Model FS102 switch, port 4 on the Model FS104 switch, or port 8 on the Model FS108
switch for uplink or norma l w ir ing :
• Configure the port for normal wiring if the port is to be connected to an uplink-wired
device, such as a network station or a PC.
• Configure the port for uplink wiring if the port is to be connected to a normal-wired
device, such as a 100 Mbps hub or another switch.
The remaining (normal) ports on the switch cannot be configured for uplink wiring. If you are
using one of these ports t o connect t o another n ormal port, yo u must u se a crossover twisted
pair cable to connect the two ports. Refer to “Cable and Connector Information” for
information about crossover twisted pair cable and straight-through twisted pair cable.

Verify Installation
3. Set the FDX or AUTO toggle switches on the re a r pa nel for the selected duplex mode.
A hub and repeater use a common collision domain for all communications and cannot
support full-dup lex mode . W h en conn ect ing any of t he 10 /1 00 Mb ps por ts o n the swi tch t o a
hub, set the port to AUTO. The switch must also be set to AUTO when connecting to any
device that does not use NWay autonegotiation to detect the operating mode. Setting the
toggle switch to AUTO will cause th e port to default to half-du ple x m od e whe n co nn ecti ng to
a port that does not use autoneg oti ation.
When connecting to a PC, a server, or another switch, the duplex setting for the port must be
the same as the duplex setting on the PC, server, or other switch.
To set the 10/100 Mbps ports for the selected duplex mode:
• Move the toggle switch into the down position (to AUTO) for auto-duplex mode.
The 10/100 Mbps ports will negotiate and automatically determine the duplex mode
based on the mode of the connected port. If the connected port cannot autonegotiate,
the 10/100 Mbps port will default to half-duplex mo de. The factory setting of the duplex
toggle switches is AUTO.
• Move the toggle switch i nto the up pos ition (to F DX) for full-du plex mode.Th e duplex
switch must be set to FDX if you a re connecting to legacy full-duplex 100 Mbps devices
that do not gen e rate signals indicating duplex mode. If the duplex switch i s set to AUTO
mode, the 10/100 Mbps ports will default to half-duplex mode because the port does not
receive the proper signal.
4. Connect one end of the DC power adapter cable to the power outlet on the rear panel of
the switch and the other end of the power adapter cable to the wall outlet.
When power has been applied to the switch:
• The green Pwr (Power) LED on the front panel is on.
• The green Link LED on each connected port is on.
When the switch is connected and operating, refer to the table in “LEDs” for information about
the LEDs and their activity.

Cable and Connector Information
Twisted Pair Cables
For two devices to communicate, the transmitter o f each device must be c onn ected t o the receiver
of the other device. The crossover function is usually implemented internally as part of the
circuitry in the device. Most ports on switches and repeaters have media-dependent interfaces with
crossover ports. These ports are referred to as MDI-X or normal ports. Computer and workstation
adapter cards are u s ually media-depe ndent interface ports referred to as MDI or upli nk ports.
