Switch Hardware Interfaces
The following sections describe the hardware interfaces on the switch.
Hardware Overview
12
ProSAFE 8-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Switch with PoE+ and 2 SFP Ports

RJ-45 Ports for 10/100/1000M BASE-T Connectivity
All RJ-45 copper ports support autosensing.When you insert a cable into an RJ-45 port, the switch
automatically ascertains the maximum speed (10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1 Gbps) and duplex mode (half-duplex
or full-duplex) of the attached device. All ports support a Category 5e (Cat 5e) cable terminated with an
8-pin RJ-45 connector.
To simplify the procedure for attaching devices, all RJ-45 ports support Auto Uplink technology.This
technology allows attaching devices to the RJ-45 ports with either straight-through or crossover cables.
When you insert a cable into the switch’s RJ-45 port, the switch automatically performs the following actions:
•Senses whether the cable is a straight-through or crossover cable.
•Determines whether the link to the attached device requires a normal connection (such as when you
are connecting the port to a computer) or an uplink connection (such as when you are connecting the
port to a router, switch, or hub).
•Automatically configures the RJ-45 port to enable communications with the attached device.The Auto
Uplink technology compensates for setting uplink connections while eliminating concern about whether
to use crossover or straight-through cables when you attach devices.
All copper ports also support Power over Ethernet (PoE+). In addition, the two small form-factor pluggable
(SFP) ports can support 1G fiber optical modules.
Reset Button
The switch provides a Reset button on the front panel so that you can reboot the switch.Save the
configuration before you press the Reset button.
To reboot the switch:
1. Insert a device such as a straightened paper clip into the opening.
2. Press the recessed Reset button for about three seconds.The switch reboots.
Factory Defaults Button
The switch provides a Factory Defaults button on the front panel so that you can return the switch to its
factory settings.
To return the switch to its factory default settings:
1. Insert a device such as a straightened paper clip into the opening.
2. Press the recessed Factory Defaults button for about three seconds.The switch reboots and returns
to its factory settings.

ProSAFE 8-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Switch with PoE+ and 2 SFP Ports

To connect devices to the switch’s RJ-45 ports:
1. Select a Category 5e (Cat 5e) or higher rated (Cat 6) cable terminated with an RJ-45 connector.
2. Connect each device to an RJ-45 network port on the switch front panel.
Step 8: Apply AC Power and Check the LEDs
The switch does not provide an on/off switch.The power cord connection controls the power.
Before connecting the power cord, select an AC outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch, which can turn
off power to the switch.
To apply AC power:
1. Connect the end of the power cord to the AC power receptacle on the back of the switch.
2. Plug the AC power cord into a power source such as a wall socket or power strip.
When you apply power, the Power LED on the switch front panel lights.
If the Power LED does not light, check that the power cord is plugged in correctly and that the power
source is good.
Step 9: Manage the Switch
The switch contains built-in web browser accessible software for viewing, changing, and monitoring the way
it functions.This management software is not required for the switch to work.You can use the ports without
using the management software. However, the management software enables the setup ofVLAN and
trunking features and also improves the efficiency of the switch, which results in the improvement of its
overall performance as well as the performance of the network.
After you power up the switch for the first time, you can configure the smart managed switch using the web
browser-based management interface for advanced setup and configuration of features, or the Smart Control
Center program (which requires a Windows computer) for very basic setup. For more information about
managing the switch, see the installation guide on the resource CD and the user manual that you can
download from downloadcenter.netgear.com.
