Ports For 10/100/1000M Base-T Ethernet Connectivity; Reset Button - NETGEAR S350 Series Hardware Installation Manual

S350 Series 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Pro Switch
RJ-45 ports for 10/100/1000M BASE-T
Ethernet 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 Cat 5e cable (or higher-rated Ethernet 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 RJ-45 copper ports on model GS310TP support PoE+.

Reset button

The switch provides a recessed Reset button on the front panel so that you can either
restart (power-cylce) the switch or return the switch to its factory default settings, causing
all custom settings to be erased.
To restart the switch or return the switch to its factory default settings:
1. Insert a device such as a straightened paper clip into the opening.
2. Do one of the following:
• Restart the switch. Press the Reset button for about two seconds. (Do not press
the button for more than five seconds!)
The switch restarts but retains its custom settings. During this process, the Power
LED lights yellow.
