Introduction
The NETGEAR™
Switch
simplify 10/100 me gabits per second (Mbps) switching technology so that
Model FS2105 Fast Ethernet Switch
Model FS2108 Fast Ethernet
and
small businesse s can enjoy the same high- performance networking facilities that
the corporate users enjoy. These switches boost network throughput, while
preserving your investment, so that there is no need to replace installed cabling,
desktop software, or hardware.

Normal/Uplink Ports
There are two port 5s for the

the
• Port 5 Normal (or port 8 Normal) is for normal (MDI-X) wiring for direct
connection to a PC or router.
• Port 5 Uplink (or port 8 Uplink) is for uplink (MDI) wiring for connection
to a hub or a switch.
Port 5 Normal (or port 8 Normal ) and port 5 Uplink (or port 8 Uplink) can

Applications
PC Workgroup
Both the
Model FS2105 Fast Ethernet Switch
and the
can be used as a desktop switch to build a small network that enables users to
have 100 Mbps access to a file server. Compared with a hub, where the network
bandwidth is shared among all users, the
switch
provides dedicated 10 or 100 Mbps bandwidth to each PC.

Installing the Switch
There are three ways to install either the Model FS2105 Fast Ethernet Switch or the Model
FS2108 Fast Ethernet Switch:
Desktop
•
• Magnetic mount (see
“Inser ti ng the Ma gn e t
”)
• Wall mount
You do not need tools for desktop or magnetic mount installation, but you do need a Phillips
screwdriver for wall mount installation.
Wall Mounting the Switch
1. Measure the distance between the mounting holes on the back of the
switch.
2. Mark the wall to match the location of the mounting holes.
3. At the marked location, insert the two screws that you received in your
package contents.
For all three installations:
Note:
• Choose a location that is near the devices to be connected.
• Make sure you are close to an electrical outlet.
• Be sure to leav e at least 2 inc hes of space all around the switch f or
ventilation .

Connecting the Network
To connect devices to the switch:
1. Connect the devices to the 10/100 Mbps ports on the switch, using
category 5 UTP cable with an RJ-45 plug.
Ethernet specif ications limit the total cable length be tween
Note:
your PC and the switch to 328 feet (100 meters).
2. Connect the switch for specific devices:
• T o c onnec t to a PC or router, use port 5 Norma l (or port 8 Normal) . This
connection is considered “normal.”
• To connect to a hub or another switch, use port 5 Uplink (or port 8
Uplink). This connection is considered “uplink.”
3. 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. V erifying

When power has been applied to the switch:
• The green Pwr (power) LED on the front panel is on.
• The green Link/Activity 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.

Make sur e that the adapter ca rd is capab le o f a nd se t
for 100 Mbps operation.
Make sure that the connected devi ce is capable of
full-duplex transmi ssion, using autosensing. The
Model FS2105 s witch and the Model FS2108 switch
will not support a full-dup lex link that is not using
autosensing.
Make sure that only one port 5 (or 8) is connected,
not both (Uplink or Normal) .
Normal port 5 (or 8) is connected to a PC or router.
Uplink port 5 (or 8) is connected to a hub or switch.
Make sure that you are using standard, Category 5,
straight -t hrough UTP cabling.
Make sure that the attached device is powered and
there is a proper UTP connection.
Make sure that the network adapter
card installed in the PC is working.
Verify that the network adapter card
is operating at the proper speed
(10 Mbps or 100 Mbps).
Make sure that the proper cable is inst alled. Check
for miswired cable pairs or loose connectors .
For 100 Mbps oper ation, only Category 5 or better
grade cable should be used. For 10 Mbps operation,
Category 3 cable can be used.
Make sure that the length of the UTP cable fr om the
switch to the device does not exceed 328 feet (100
meters).
