The NETGEAR™Model FS105 Fast Ethernet Switch provides you
with a low-cost, high-performance network solution.
LEDs
This table describes the activity of the Model FS105 switch LEDs.
Normal/Uplink Push Button
All ports (1 through 4) are configured for normal wiring to connect to
a PC. When the push button is pressed in, port 5 is configured for
uplink wiring to connect to another switch or to a hub, using a
straight-through twisted pair cable. When the push button is out, port
5 is configured for normal wiring to connect to a PC.
Rear Panel
The rear panel of the Model FS105 switch has a power adapter
receptacle for the supplied power adapter.
PC Workgroup
The Model FS105 switch is 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 model FS105 switch provides dedicated 10 or 100 Mbps
(megabits per second) bandwidth to each PC.
If a full-duplex adapter card is installed in the server or PC, a 200
Mbps connection is possible on the port where the server or PC is
connected.
Expanded Workgroup
The Model FS105 switch is used to connect multiple PC workgroups.
Before you begin installing your switch, prepare the installation site.
Make sure that your operating environment meets the operating
environment requirements of the equipment.
Set the switch up 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 connect devices to 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.
2. Set the Normal/Uplink push button:
• To connect to a router.
• To connect to a hub or another switch.
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
poweradapter 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.

Symptom Cause Solution
10M or 100M
Link LED is
off on a
connected
port.
Port
connection
is not
functioning.
Make sure the attached device is
powered and there is a proper UTP
connection.
Make sure 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 the proper cable is installed.
Check for miswired cable pairs or loose
connectors.
For 100 Mbps operation, only
Category 5 or better grade cable should
be used. For 10 Mbps operation,
Category 3 cable can be used.
Make sure the length of the UTP cable
from the switch to the device does not
exceed 328 feet (100 meters).
100M link
and 10M link
are off on
port 5.
Port
connection
is not
functioning.
Check the Normal/Uplink push button on
the front panel. Toggle the switch to the
alternate position for 10 seconds to see
if link comes on (refer to “Normal/Uplink
Push Button” section in this document
for the correct settings).
Green 100M
LED is off
when
operating in
a Fast
Ethernet
network.
Port is
operating
in 10 Mbps
mode.
Make sure the adapter card is capable of
and set for 100 Mbps operation if it is not
autosensing.
Green Link
10M or 100M
LED is on
and Green
FDX LED is
off when
connected to
a full-duplex
network.
Port is
operating in
half-duplex
mode.
Make sure the connected device is
capable of full-duplex transmission,
using autosensing. The Model FS105
switch will not support a full-duplex link
that is not advertised using autosensing.
Yellow
CollisionLED
is blinking
excessively.
Data
collision is
occurring
on the port.
The port and switch might be functioning
correctly. However, check the following
to make sure that excessive collisions
are normal (as in most Ethernet
networks) and not caused by:
Incorrect cabling or connectors
Wiring techniques
Mismatched duplex operating mode
settings
