Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the NETGEAR® ProSafe™ 8 Port 10/100 Switch with 4
Port PoE FS108P. This switch provides Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities in a small
form factor. Integrating both 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and 10Mbps Ethernet capabilities in a
sturdy, compact package, the FS108P provides 8 ports of standard networking. Ports 1
through 4 of this Switch can provide standards-based PoE, and will automatically detect the
presence of IEEE 802.3af-compliant devices. The switch will provide up to 15.4 W of power
on each PoE port and can be used to drive WLAN access points, IP phones, IP cameras and
other PoE-capable devices. The switch will automatically detect the device's power
requirements, and will supply the required power to each appliance. If you have a problem
with your switch, NETGEAR offers free support 24 hours a day and 7days a week on the
Web (www.NETGEAR.com ), by e-mail (support@NETGEAR.com) and by phone (see the
provided support information card for phone numbers).
Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Power over Ethernet (PoE) integrates power and data onto one single cabling infrastructure,
eliminating the need to have AC power adapters available at all locations. The IEEE 802.3af
standard defines how products should provide and receive power over the data infrastructure.
The FS108P complies with the 802.3af standard. Using category 5/5e cable or better, PoE
will provide power to PoE compatible device, such as IP telephones, wireless LAN access
points and IP cameras, for a distance up to 100 Meters. Products that are powered by PoE are
generically called Powered Devices (PD). PoE is already widely adopted in the market,
saving up to 50% of overall installation costs by eliminating the need to install separate
electrical wiring and power outlets in new or hard to reach places.
Installation Overview
Estimated Time: 5-10 minutes
1. Unpack the box and verify the contents.
2. Prepare to install the switch.
