Congratulations on your purchase of the NETGEAR™ 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 switch), four (Model FS104 switch), and eight (Model FS108 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 forwarding to support the “traffic cop” function by directing 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 push button to simplify network extension (The switch can be connected to another switch or hub using a standard, straight-through cable.)
•Two vista RJ-45 connector ports on the Model FS102 switch, 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 speed
•IEEE 8023u standard compliance, allowing incorporation with other 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) products
•IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T standard compliance
•Compact, sturdy metal case design that enables easy desktop, wall-mount, or under-desk installation

Fast Ethernet Vista Ports with Built-in LEDs
All of the ports on the switch are 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports. The network access speed for the ports is automatically sensed and displayed on the front panel by the 100 Mbps LEDs.
Each port supports only unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable using an 8-pin RJ-45 plug.
Each port uses vista RJ-45 connectors that have two LEDs—the Link LED and the FDX LED.

Normal/Uplink Push Button
The Normal/Uplink push button on the front panel of the switch allows you to select uplink (MDI) or normal (MDI-X) wiring for either of the Ethernet ports on the Model FS102 switch, port 4 on the Model FS104 switch, or port 8 on the Model FS108 switch. These ports are configured for normal wiring to connect to a PC when the push button position is out. When the push button is pressed in, these ports are configured for uplink wiring to connect to another switch or to a hub, using a straight-through twisted pair cable.
Rear Panel
The rear panel of the Model FS102/FS104/FS108 switch has full-duplex (FDX) and auto-duplex (AUTO) toggle switches and a power adapter receptacle for the supplied power adapter.
FDX - Force port to operate at Full Duplex and Half Duplex mode.
AUTO - Enable port to determine duplex mode automatically. Default is Half Duplex.

FDX/AUTO 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 fullor 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 communicate in full-duplex mode. The associated 10 Mbps port on the switch should be set to auto-duplex operation when connecting to these types 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.
