Page 9: Introduction
Chapter 1 Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the NETGEAR Model SW510 10-port 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Switch or the NETGEAR Model SW518 18-port 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Switch. These switches are part of the NETGEAR ™ 500-series product family. The switches allow simultaneous transmission of multiple packets through an internal high-speed data channel, improving the overall information throughput and productivity of a network environment. -
Page 10: Features
Installation Guide for the Model SW510 and Model SW518 Ethernet Switches Increased bandwidth is another advantage of the Model SW510 and Model SW518 switches. In addition to 10 Mbps ports, each switch has two Fast Ethernet ports that create a high-throughput connection to a backbone or server with 100 Mbps transmission. - Page 11 Installation Guide for the Model SW510 and Model SW518 Ethernet Switches • Two 10/100 Mbps ports on each of the switches One of the 10/100 Mbps ports is configurable as Normal (MDI-X) or Uplink (MDI). • Switch-selectable half/full-duplex mode for the 10 Mbps ports In full-duplex mode, the throughput of point-to-point connections is doubled by enabling individual ports to transmit and receive concurrently when the other end also supports full-duplex mode.

Page 28: Verifying Installation
Installation Guide for the Model SW510 and Model SW518 Ethernet Switches Verifying Installation Verify network communications by ensuring that all the necessary connections have been made, that all connected resources can be accessed, and that the LED indicators on the switch are functioning properly. -
Page 29: Troubleshooting
If performance degradation is a problem or if file transfer is slow, make sure that the half- or full-duplex setting of the NETGEAR switch and the connected device are the same. When connecting the switch to a repeater or hub, the 10 Mbps port on the switch must be set to half-duplex (HDX) mode and the 10/100 Mbps port must be set to auto-duplex (AUTO) mode. -
Page 30: Installation
If the problem continues and you have completed all the preceding diagnoses, contact your NETGEAR distributor. Caution: Turning the power off and then turning the power on again will clear the address table. -
