Device Hardware Interfaces
RJ-45 Ports
RJ-45 ports are autosensing ports. When inserting a cable into an RJ-45 port, the switch automatically ascertains the maximum speed (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) and duplex mode (half-duplex or full-duplex) of the attached device. All ports support only unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable terminated with an 8-pin RJ-45 plug.
To simplify the procedure for attaching devices, all RJ-45 ports support Auto Uplink. This technology allows attaching devices to the RJ-45 ports with either straight-through or crossover cables. When inserting a cable into the switch's RJ-45 port, the switch automatically:
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 connecting the port to a PC) or an "uplink" connection (such as when connecting the port to a router, switch, or hub).
- Configures the RJ-45 port to enable communications with the attached device, without requiring user intervention. In this way, the Auto Uplink technology compensates for setting uplink connections, while eliminating concern about whether to use crossover or straight-through cables when attaching devices.
The Smart Switch has a Reset button on the front panel to allow you to manually reboot the switch. This action is equivalent to powering the unit off and back on. The last saved configuration is loaded into the switch as it resets. To operate the Reset button, insert a device such as a paper clip into the opening to press the recessed button. The front-panel LEDs should extinguish and light again as the switch performs its Power On Self Test (POST).
The Smart Switch has a Factory Defaults button on the front panel so that you can remove the current configuration and return the device to its factory settings. When you enable the Factory Defaults button, all settings including the password, VLAN settings, and port configurations are removed. To operate the Factory Defaults button, insert a device such as a paper clip into the opening to press the recessed button for two seconds.
Chapter 3 Applications
Your NETGEAR GS110TP Smart PoE Switch is designed to provide flexibility in configuring your network connections. It can be used as a stand-alone device or with 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps hubs and switches.
Desktop Switching
The GS110TP Smart PoE Switch can be used as a desktop switch to build a small network that enables users to have 1000 Mbps access to a file server. With full-duplex enabled, the switch port connected to the server or PC can provide 2000 Mbps throughput.

Chapter 4 Installation
This chapter describes the installation procedures for your NETGEAR GS110TP Smart PoE Switch. Switch installation involves the following steps:
Step 1: Preparing the Site
Step 2: Installing the Switch
Step 3: Checking the Installation
Step 4: Connecting Devices to the Switch
Step 5: Applying AC Power
Step 6: Managing the Switch using a Web Browser or the PC Utility
Step 1: Preparing the Site
Before you install the switch, ensure the operating environment meets the site requirements in the following table.
Table 4-1. Site Requirements
| Characteristics | Requirements |
| Mounting | • Desktop installations - Provide a flat table or shelf surface.
• Wall-mount installations - Wall-mount: select a location. You also need the mounting screws supplied with your switch. |
| Access | Locate the switch in a position that allows access to the front panel RJ-45 ports, view the front panel LEDs, and access the power connector. |
| Power source | Provide a power adapter (included). Power specifications for the switch are shown in Appendix A . Ensure the AC outlet is not controlled by a wall switch, which can accidentally turn off power to the outlet and the switch. |
| Environmental | • Temperature - Install the switch in a dry area, with ambient temperature between 0 and 50°C (32 and 122°F). Keep the switch away from heat sources such as direct sunlight, warm air exhausts, hot-air vents, and heaters.
• Operating humidity - The installation location should have a maximum relative humidity of 90%, non-condensing.
• Ventilation - Do not restrict airflow by covering or obstructing air inlets on the sides of the switch. Keep at least 2 inches (5.08 centimeters) free on all sides for cooling. Be sure there is adequate airflow in the room or wiring closet where the switch is installed.
• Operating conditions - Keep the switch at least 6 ft. (1.83 m) away from nearest source of electromagnetic noise, such as a photocopy machine. |
Step 2: Installing the Switch
The GS110TP Smart PoE Switch can be used on a flat surface or mounted on the wall.
Installing the Switch on a Flat Surface
The switch ships with four self-adhesive rubber footpads. Stick one rubber footpad on each of the four concave spaces on the bottom of the switch. The rubber footpads cushion the switch against shock/vibrations.
Wall Mounting the Switch
To mount the switch on a wall (optional), install the two provided screws in positions that correspond to the slots on the bottom side of the GS110TP, then mount the switch.
Step 3: Checking the Installation
Before applying power to the switch, perform the following:
- Inspect the equipment thoroughly.
- Verify that all cables are installed correctly.
- Check cable routing to make sure cables are not damaged or creating a safety hazard.
- Ensure all equipment is mounted properly and securely.
Step 4: Connecting Devices to the Switch
The following procedure describes how to connect PCs to the switch's RJ-45 ports. The GS110TP Smart PoE Switch contains Auto Uplink technology, which allows the attaching of devices using either straight-through or crossover cables.
Figure 4-1
Connect each PC to an RJ-45 network port on the Switch front panel (Figure 4-1). Use Category 5 (Cat5) Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP) cable terminated with an RJ-45 connector to make these connections.
Note: Ethernet specifications limit the cable length between the switch and the attached device to 100m (328 ft.).
Step 5: Applying AC Power
Before connecting the power cord, select an AC outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch, which can turn off power to the switch. After selecting an appropriate outlet, use the following procedure to apply AC power:
- Connect the end of the supplied IEC AC power adapter cable to the power receptacle on the back of the switch.
- Connect the AC power adapter cable into a power source such as a wall socket or power strip.
When applying power, the Power LED on the switch's front panel illuminates.
If the Power LED does not go on, check that the power cable is plugged in correctly and that the power source is good. If this does not resolve the problem, refer to Appendix A.
Step 6: Managing the Switch using a Web Browser or the PC Utility
The GS110TP Smart PoE Switch contains software for viewing, changing, and monitoring the way it works. This management software is not required for the switch to work. The ports can be used without using the management software. However, the management software enables the setup of VLAN and Trunking features and also improves the efficiency of the switch, which results in the improvement of its overall performance as well as the performance of the network.
After powering up the switch for the first time, the Smart Switch can be configured using a Web browser or a program called Smart Control Center Utility. For more information about managing the switch, see the Gigabit Advanced Smart Switch Series Software Administration Manual on the Smart Switch Resource CD.
Note: When the device powers up, there is a default IP address already configured on the device. The default IP address is 192.168.0.239 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0.

| A segment or device is not recognized as part of the network. | One or more devices are not properly connected, or cabling does not meet Ethernet guidelines. | Verify that the cabling is correct. Ensure all connectors are securely positioned in the required ports. Equipment may have been accidentally disconnected. |
| ACT LED is flashing continuously on all connected ports and the network is disabled. | A network loop (redundant path) has been created. | Break the loop by ensuring that there is only one path from any networked device to any other networked device. |
Additional Troubleshooting
If the suggestions in Troubleshooting Chart do not resolve the problem, refer to the troubleshooting suggestions in this section.
Network Adapter Cards
Ensure the network adapter cards installed in the PCs are in working condition and the software driver has been installed.
Configuration
If problems occur after altering the network configuration, restore the original connections and determine the problem by implementing the new changes, one step at a time. Ensure that cable distances, repeater limits, and other physical aspects of the installation do not exceed the Ethernet limitations.
Switch Integrity
If required, verify the integrity of the switch by resetting the switch. To reset the switch, remove the AC power from the switch and then reapply AC power. If the problem continues, contact NETGEAR technical support. In North America, call 1-888-NETGEAR. If you are outside of North America, please refer to the support information card included with your product.
Auto-Negotiation
The RJ-45 ports negotiate the correct duplex mode and speed if the device at the other end of the link supports auto negotiation. If the device does not support auto negotiation, the switch only determines the speed correctly and the duplex mode defaults to half-duplex.
The gigabit port on the Gigabit module negotiates speed, duplex mode, and flow control, provided that the attached device supports auto-negotiation.
