Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the NETGEAR® ProSafe 8 Port Switch with 4 Port PoE.
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.
