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).
LED Definitions
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 27W, leaving 5W 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 5W of power is reserved for power surges by the original PD devices.
PoE LED example 2:
Port 1 has a PD drawing 12W, Port 2 has a PD drawing 7W, and Port 3 has a PD drawing 12W, for a total power draw
of 31W. Since the remaining power is less than 7W, the PoE MAX LED will light up. If the PD on Port 2 surges to
10W, thereby exceeding the power budget (32W), Port 3 will stop providing power since it has the lowest priority of the
three ports providing power. The power from Port 3 will be allocated to provide power Port 2. (If the ports are plugged
in at the same time, priority is based on port number.) The PoE LED for Port 3 will turn off, the PoE Fault LED for
Port 3 will turn on, and the PoE MAX LED will turn off, since there is now more than 7W available.
PoE LED example 3:
Port 2 is using 7W and Port 3 is using 15.4W for a total power draw of 22.4W. When an additional PD is inserted to
Port 1 that needs 13W, powering that PD would exceed the maximum power available. Priority will be given to the PD's
on ports 2 and 3, since they were already plugged in, so the new PD will not receive power. The PoE Fault LED for port
1 will turn on, indicating that not enough power was available for the new PoE device. PoE MAX LED might or might
not turn on briefly.
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.

Install the Switch and Connect the
Other Devices
Fast Ethernet-Switch FS108P
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 their network without concern for damaging equipment.
(Please refer to LED Definitions section for more detail on PoE LED examples)

DC Power Jack: Power is supplied through an external DC power adapter. Check the technical
specification section for information about the DC power input voltage.
Note: Be sure to connect 48V/0.8A power adapter DC plug to DC jack of FS108P before plugging the
power cord to AC power outlet.
Grounding Connection: A grounding strap location is provided to enable you to ground the case to
Earth.
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).
