8-Port and 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet (PoE+) Smart Managed Plus Click Switch

Introduction

The NETGEAR Smart Managed Plus Click Switches use the 1-2-3-4 Click Mounting

system, which lets you easily mount the switch vertically or horizontally on a wall, pole,

or table leg. The internal power supply allows for a simple power cord from the switch

to an outlet. The switches are fanless for silent operation and you can turn off the LEDs

to minimize distractions.

This hardware installation guide is for the following switch models:

•GSS108E. 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Plus Click Switch.

•GSS116E. 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Plus Click Switch.

•GSS108EPP. 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Plus Click Switch with

4-Port PoE+.

This hardware installation guide complements the installation guide that came with your

switch.

This chapter serves as an introduction to the switch and includes the following sections:

• Overview

• Features

• Safety instructions and warnings

Note: For more information about the topics that are covered in this manual, visit the

support website at netgear.com/support/.

Note: For technical specifications, see the data sheet at

netgear.com/business/products/switches/web-managed/. For switch documentation,

visit netgear.com/support/download/.

Overview

The switch provides eight or sixteen 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 copper ports that support

nonstop 10/100/1000M Layer 2 networks. On model GSS108EPP, RJ-45 ports 1-4

support PoE+ with a total PoE power budget of 47W for the switch.

For information about application samples, see Applications on page 19.

The switch provides administrative management options that let you configure, monitor,

and control the network. Using the local browser–based management interface, in this

guide referred to as the local browser interface, you can configure the switch and the

network, including the ports, VLANs for traffic control, link aggregation (on models

GSS116E and GSS108EPP) for increased bandwidth, and Quality of Service (QoS) for

prioritizing traffic.

For initial discovery of the switch on the network, use one of the following methods, all

of which are described in detail in the user manual:

•NETGEAR Insight mobile app

•NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool

•NETGEAR ProSAFE Plus Utility

You can also get the IP address of the switch from the DHCP server in the network or

use an IP scanner utility.

After discovery, you can configure the switch using the local browser interface for

advanced setup and configuration of features, or the NETGEAR ProSAFE Plus Utility for

configuration of most features. For more information, see the user manual, which you

can download from netgear.com/support/download/.

The switch is IEEE compliant and offers low latency. All ports can automatically negotiate

to the highest speed, which makes the switch very suitable for a mixed environment

with Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet.

Use Category 5e (Cat 5e) or higher-rated Ethernet cables terminated with RJ-45

connectors to make Gigabit connections.

Safety instructions and warnings

Use the following safety guidelines to ensure your own personal safety and to help

protect your system from potential damage.

To reduce the risk of bodily injury, electrical shock, fire, and damage to the equipment,

observe the following precautions:

•This product is designed for indoor use only in a temperature-controlled and

humidity-controlled environment. For more information, see the environmental

specifications in the appendix or the data sheet.

Any device that is located outdoors and connected to this product must be properly

grounded and surge protected.

Failure to follow these guidelines can result in damage to your NETGEAR product,

which might not be covered by NETGEAR’s warranty, to the extent permissible by

applicable law.

•Observe and follow service markings:

- Do not service any product except as explained in your system documentation.

Some devices should never be opened.

-If applicable to your device, opening or removing covers that are marked with

the triangular symbol with a lightning bolt can expose you to electrical shock.

We recommend that only a trained technician services components inside these

compartments.

•If any of the following conditions occur, unplug the product from the electrical outlet

and replace the part or contact your trained service provider:

- Depending on your device, the power adapter, power adapter cable, power

cable, extension cable, or plug is damaged.

-An object fell into the product.

- The product was exposed to water.

- The product was dropped or damaged.

-The product does not operate correctly when you follow the operating

instructions.

•Keep your system away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do not block cooling

vents.

•Do not spill food or liquids on your system components, and never operate the

product in a wet environment. If the system gets wet, see the appropriate section in

your troubleshooting guide, or contact your trained service provider.

Hardware Installation Guide9Introduction

8-Port and 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet (PoE+) Smart Managed Plus Click Switch

•Do not push any objects into the openings of your system. Doing so can cause fire

or electric shock by shorting out interior components.

•Use the product only with approved equipment.

•If applicable to your device, allow the product to cool before removing covers or

touching internal components.

•Operate the product only from the type of external power source indicated on the

electrical ratings label. If you are not sure of the type of power source required,

consult your service provider or local power company.

•To avoid damaging your system, if your device uses a power supply with a voltage

selector, be sure that the selector is set to match the power at your location:

-115V, 60 Hz in most of North and South America and some Far Eastern countries

such as South Korea and Taiwan

- 100V, 50 Hz in eastern Japan and 100V, 60 Hz in western Japan

-230V, 50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East

•Be sure that attached devices are electrically rated to operate with the power available

in your location.

•Depending on your device, use only a supplied power adapter or approved power

cable:

If your device uses a power adapter:

-If you were not provided with a power adapter, contact your local NETGEAR

reseller.

-The power adapter must be rated for the product and for the voltage and current

marked on the product electrical ratings label.

If your device uses a power cable:

-If you were not provided with a power cable for your system or for any

AC-powered option intended for your system, purchase a power cable approved

for your country.

-The power cable must be rated for the product and for the voltage and current

marked on the product electrical ratings label. The voltage and current rating of

the cable must be greater than the ratings marked on the product.

•To help prevent electric shock, plug the system and peripheral power cables into

properly grounded electrical outlets.

•If applicable to your device, the peripheral power cables are equipped with

three-prong plugs to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or

remove the grounding prong from a cable. If you must use an extension cable, use

a three-wire cable with properly grounded plugs.
