1. What is the Linksys LGS108P Switch?
The Linksys LGS108P is a 8-Port Gigabit PoE Switch. This unmanaged switch offers a quick and easy solution to extend your office network
with a plug-and-play installation. It is also useful in transferring data across a local network at up to Gigabit speeds.
2. What is PoE?
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a technology that enables an Ethernet network cable to deliver both data and power.
3. What kind of devices can be connected to the switch?
You can connect the following devices to your LGS108P switch:
Computers
Routers
Switches
Network Printers
Other network devices
4. What should I do when my computer cannot connect to the Internet while connected to the switch?
Follow the steps provided below to resolve this issue:
Verify if LEDs are properly lit on the switch.
System LED - Blue
Link/Act/GB - Green (1000 Mbps)-Amber (10/100 Mbps)
PoE Max - Amber
PoE - Green
Power down all devices and power ON the switch first. Next, power ON the computer.
NOTE: Only routers or modems with DHCP capabilities can allow sharing of Internet connection between computers.
5. What is the advantage of having a switch when it comes to data transfer?
The switch acts as a repeater which regenerates data signals as they pass through it. This feature acts as a safeguard to deter data loss and
ensure that transmissions arrive securely at their destinations. Moreover, a switch is capable of intelligent filtering of data based on source and
destination as compared to the repeater which can only regenerate the signal without checking its recipients.
6. What is the maximum PoE power budget for each PoE switch?
The Linksys LGS108P has 50 W dedicated PoE power budget for the entire switch.
7. What are the protocols supported by the LGS108P?
