based computer that is on the same network as the switch. You can use a 
WiFi or wired connection. When you discover the switch, this tool provides 
access to the local browser interface to congure the switch. To download  
the NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool, visit

The GS105PE switch must receive power through its PD port from a PoE switch. 
The GS105PE switch can then pass a portion of that power through to PSE port 1 
and PSE port 2. Depending on the power supplied to the PD port, up to 20W of 
PoE power can be supplied to the PSE ports (assuming the sourcing PoE device 
is IEEE 802.3at).

PSE port 1 is given the highest priority. The GS105PE switch delivers power to 
PSE port 2 based on the actual power left and the reported PoE Class of the 
device connected to port 2. For example, you can power two PoE devices that 
are Class 0 or Class 3 if the device on PSE port 1 consumes less than 4.5W.  
Device Class Power Delivered Power Allocated
0 0.44–12.95W 15.4W
