Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the NETGEAR® ProSafe™ 8 Port 10/100 Switch with 4
Port PoE FS108P. This switch provides Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities in a small
form factor. Integrating both 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and 10Mbps Ethernet capabilities in a
sturdy, compact package, the FS108P provides 8 ports of standard networking. Ports 1
through 4 of this Switch can provide standards-based PoE, and will automatically detect the
presence of IEEE 802.3af-compliant devices. The switch will provide up to 15.4 W of power
on each PoE port and can be used to drive WLAN access points, IP phones, IP cameras and
other PoE-capable devices. The switch will automatically detect the device's power
requirements, and will supply the required power to each appliance. If you have a problem
with your switch, NETGEAR offers free support 24 hours a day and 7days a week on the
Web (www.NETGEAR.com ), by e-mail ([email protected]) and by phone (see the
provided support information card for phone numbers).
Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Power over Ethernet (PoE) integrates power and data onto one single cabling infrastructure,
eliminating the need to have AC power adapters available at all locations. The IEEE 802.3af
standard defines how products should provide and receive power over the data infrastructure.
The FS108P complies with the 802.3af standard. Using category 5/5e cable or better, PoE
will provide power to PoE compatible device, such as IP telephones, wireless LAN access
points and IP cameras, for a distance up to 100 Meters. Products that are powered by PoE are
generically called Powered Devices (PD). PoE is already widely adopted in the market,
saving up to 50% of overall installation costs by eliminating the need to install separate
electrical wiring and power outlets in new or hard to reach places.
Installation Overview
Estimated Time: 5-10 minutes
1. Unpack the box and verify the contents.
2. Prepare to install the switch.
3. Install the switch and connect the other devices.

Unpack the Box and Verify the Contents
When you open the box, verify that you received everything.
The package includes:
・ProSafe™ 8 Port 10/100 Switch with 4 Port PoE FS108P
・AC power adapter and power cord
・Wall-mounting screws
・FS108P Installation Guide (this document)
・Warranty and support information card
If you don't have everything listed above, see the support information card for contact information. If
you're missing the Technical Support information card itself, get contact information at
www.NETGEAR.com in the Customer Service area.
Prepare to Install the Switch
Decide where you want to place the switch. Find a flat horizontal surface - such as a table, desk or shelf.
The switch comes with wall-mounting screws. You're welcome to use the screws if you want to hang
the switch in an open space on a wall. Make sure the selected location is:
・Not in direct sunlight or near a heater or heating vent.
・Not cluttered or crowded. There should be at least 2 inches (5 cm) of clear space on all sides of the
switch.
・Well ventilated (especially if it is in a closet).
Also, you'll need one Category 5 (Cat 5) Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors for each device you want
to connect to the switch. Each Ethernet cable must be less than 328 feet (100 meters).

Install the Switch and Connect the
Other Devices
1. Place the switch on a flat surface or hook onto the screws.
2. For each device, insert one end of an Ethernet cable into the port in the device and insert the other
end into one of the Ethernet ports on the switch. Note: If you have more than 8 devices to connect
to this switch, you must connect them to a switch and then connect that switch to this switch.
3. Connect the power adapter's cord into the back of the switch and then plug the adapter into a power
source (such as a wall socket or power strip).The Power light should light up. The corresponding
10M/100M LED for each connected and powered device should light when link (connection), and
flash when activity occurs. Note: If any light doesn't operate as indicated, go to the Trouble
shooting section.
4. Connect PDs to Port 1 ~ Port 4 of FS108P. These PoE ports will automatically activate when a
compatible device is connected. The FS108P will not provide power to PD devices that are not
compatible with the PoE Standard IEEE 802.3af. This feature allows users to freely and safely mix
legacy and standards-based PoE devices on the network without concern for damaging
equipment. (Please refer to LED Definitions section for more detail on PoE LED examples)

LED Denitions
System LED:
Power On (Green) The FS108P is power on.
Off Power is not being supplied to the unit.
PoE Status LED (Port 1 ~ Port 4):
PoE Active On (Green) The PoE powered device (PD) is connected and
the port is supplying power successfully.
Off No PoE powered device (PD) connected.
PoE Fault On (Yellow) Indicates one of the following failures resulted in stopping power
to that port:
· Short circuit on PoE power circuit
· PoE power demand exceeds power available
· PoE current exceeds PD's classification
· Out of proper voltage band (44 ~ 57 VDC)
Off The PoE port is working normally.
PoE MAX On (Yellow) Indicates less than 7W of PoE power is available
Blinking (Yellow) Indicates the PoE MAX LED was active in the previous two minutes
Off There is at least 7W of PoE power available for another device
PoE LED example 1:
3 PDs are connected to FS108P (Port 1 ~ Port 3) consuming 46.2W, leaving 6.8W of power available. The PoE MAX
LED will light up, as there is less than 7W of power available. The FS108P will not provide power to any newly
connected PD. The 6.8W of power is reserved for power surges by the original PD devices.
PoE LED example 2:
Port 1, Port 2, and Port 4 have PDs drawing 15W, and Port 3 has a PD drawing 5W, for a total power draw of 50W.
Since the remaining power is less than 7W, the PoE MAX LED will light up. If the PD on Port 3 surges to 10W,
thereby exceeding the power budget (53W), Port 4 will stop providing power since it has the lowest priority of
the three ports providing power. The power from Port 4 will be allocated to provide power to Port 3. The PoE LED for
Port 4 will turn off, the PoE Fault LED for Port 4 will turn on, and the PoE MAX LED will flash for two minutes then
turn off since there is now more than 7W available.
Ethernet Port Status LED (Port 1 ~ Port 8):
10M/100M On (Green) A link has been successfully established on the port
Blinking The port is transmitting or receiving data
Off No link.
Troubleshooting
The Power light is not lit
The switch has no power.
・Make sure the power cord is properly connected to the switch.
・Make sure the power adapter is properly connected to a functioning power outlet. If it's in a power
strip, make sure the power strip is turned on. If the socket is controlled by a light switch, make sure
the switch is in the on position.
・Make sure you are using the NETGEAR power adapter supplied with your switch.
The Link/Activity is not lit for a connected device or stays on continuously
There's a hardware connection problem.
・Make sure the cable connectors are securely plugged in at the switch and the device.
・Make sure the connected device is turned on.
・If the Ethernet cable is connected to a NIC or other Ethernet adapter make sure the card or adapter
is installed correctly and is working.
・Make sure the cable is less than 328 feet (100 meters).
