Model FS2105/FS2108 Fast Ethernet Switch Installation Guide
The NETGEAR
™
Model FS2105 Fast Ethernet Switch
and
Model FS2108 Fast Ethernet
Switch
simplify 10/100 megabits per second (Mbps) switching technology so that
small businesses can enjoy the same high-performance networking facilities that
the corporate users enjoy. These switches boost network throughput, while
preserving your investment, so that there is no need to replace installed cabling,
desktop software, or hardware.
LEDs
This table describes the activity for LEDs on either the
Model FS2105 switch or the
Model FS2108 switch.
Note:
The Model FS2105 Fast Ethernet Switch is similar to the Model FS2108 Fast
Ethernet Switch, with the exception of three fewer RJ-45 ports and LEDs.

Network Ports
Ports 1 through 4 for the
Model FS2105 Fast Ethernet Switch
and ports 1 through 7 for
the
Model FS2108 Fast Ethernet Switch
are permanently configured for normal wiring
for connection to a PC or a router. They are all 10/100 Mbps ports.
Normal/Uplink Ports
There are two port 5s for the
Model FS2105 Fast Ethernet Switch
and two port 8s for
the
Model FS2108 Fast Ethernet Switch
. These ports are used as follows:
• Port 5 Normal (or port 8 Normal) is for normal (MDI-X) wiring for direct
connection to a PC or router.
• Port 5 Uplink (or port 8 Uplink) is for uplink (MDI) wiring for connection
to a hub or a switch.
PC Workgroup
Both the
Model FS2105 Fast Ethernet Switch
and the
Model FS2108 Fast Ethernet Switch
can be used as a desktop switch to build a small network that enables users to
have 100 Mbps access to a file server. Compared with a hub, where the network
bandwidth is shared among all users, the
Model FS2105 switch
or the
Model FS2108
switch
provides dedicated 10 or 100 Mbps bandwidth to each PC.
With a full-duplex adapter card installed in the server, a 200 Mbps connection is
possible on the port where the server or PC is connected.
Note:
Port 5 Normal (or port 8 Normal) and port 5 Uplink (or port 8 Uplink) can
have only one connection at a time. If both ports are connected at the same time, they
become disabled.

Expanded Workgroup
Both the
Model FS2105 Fast Ethernet Switch
and the
Model FS2108 Fast Ethernet Switch
can be used to connect multiple PC workgroups.
There are three ways to install either the Model FS2105 Fast Ethernet Switch or the Model
FS2108 Fast Ethernet Switch:
•
Desktop
• Magnetic mount (see
“Inserting the Magnet
”)
• Wall mount
You do not need tools for desktop or magnetic mount installation, but you do need a Phillips
screwdriver for wall mount installation.
Wall Mounting the Switch
1. Measure the distance between the mounting holes on the back of the
switch.
2. Mark the wall to match the location of the mounting holes.
3. At the marked location, insert the two screws that you received in your
package contents.
Note:
For all three installations:
• Choose a location that is near the devices to be connected.
• Make sure you are close to an electrical outlet.
• Be sure to leave at least 2 inches of space all around the switch for
ventilation.

To connect devices to the switch:
1. Connect the devices to the 10/100 Mbps ports on the switch, using
category 5 UTP cable with an RJ-45 plug.
2. Connect the switch for specific devices:
• To connect to a PC or router, use port 5 Normal (or port 8 Normal). This
connection is considered “normal.”
• To connect to a hub or another switch, use port 5 Uplink (or port 8
Uplink). This connection is considered “uplink.”
3. Connect one end of the DC power adapter cable to the power outlet on
the rear panel of the switch and the other end of the power adapter
cable to the wall outlet. Verifying
Note:
Ethernet specifications limit the total cable length between
your PC and the switch to 328 feet (100 meters).

Connecting the Network
Model FS2105/FS2108 Fast Ethernet Switch Installation Guide
When power has been applied to the switch:
• The green Pwr (power) LED on the front panel is on.
• The green Link/Activity LED on each connected port is on.
When the switch is connected and operating, refer to the table in “LEDs” for
information about the LEDs and their activity.

will not support a full-duplex link that is not using
autosensing.
Link is off on
port 5 (or 8).
Port 5 (or 8) is

correctly.
Make sure that only one port 5 (or 8) is connected,
not both (Uplink or Normal).
Normal port 5 (or 8) is connected to a PC or router.
Uplink port 5 (or 8) is connected to a hub or switch.
Make sure that you are using standard, Category 5,
straight-through UTP cabling.

Make sure that the attached device is powered and
there is a proper UTP connection.
Make sure that the network adapter
card installed in the PC is working.
Verify that the network adapter card
is operating at the proper speed
(10 Mbps or 100 Mbps).
Make sure that the proper cable is installed. Check
for miswired cable pairs or loose connectors.
For 100 Mbps operation, only Category 5 or better
grade cable should be used. For 10 Mbps operation,
Category 3 cable can be used.
Make sure that the length of the UTP cable from the
switch to the device does not exceed 328 feet (100
meters).
