Model FS308 Fast Ethernet Switch Installation Guide

The NETGEAR Model FS308 Fast Ethernet Switch provides you with a low-

cost, high-performance network solution for the home or small office. It is

designed to support power users operating at either 10 megabits per second

(Mbps) or 100 Mbps.

Ethernet switches provide private, dedicated, 10 or 100 Mbps capacity to each

connected PC/server or hub/workgroup segment. The higher bandwidth enables

the use of applications such as multimedia, imaging, video, or high-performance

client-server functions among users who are spread out over the network.

With the Model FS308 Fast Ethernet Switch, this improvement is accomplished

very easily, with no change to the desktop (the network interface cards or

software and the network wiring). As a result, the performance upgrade and the

applications it enables are obtained very quickly and at a low cost.

The Model FS308 switch has the following key features:

• Eight automatic speed-sensing (autosensing) 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports to

provide fast information exchange, resource sharing, and client or peer-to-

peer communication using simple Category 5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP)

cable

• IEEE 802.3u standard compliance for interoperation with all 100BASE-TX

Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) products, 802.3i standard compliance for

interoperation with all 10BASE-T Ethernet products, and 802.3x standard

compliance for flow control

• Automatic address learning function to build the packet forwarding

information table, which contains up to 8,000 MAC addresses so that the

switch can support networks with as many as 8,000 devices

• Easy plug-and-play installation with no software to configure, saving time

and minimizing the potential for configuration errors

• Autosensing full-duplex or half-duplex mode of operation

• Wire-speed filtering and forwarding to provide the “traffic cop” function by

directing traffic to the appropriate port or network segment without slowing

down the traffic

• Internal 100 to 240 V AC power supply, eliminating the need for a bulky

wall transformer

• Normal/Uplink push button to simplify network extension and allow the

switch to connect to a hub using a straight-through cable

• LEDs that provide network traffic status and data transmission speed

— Status indicators on both the front and rear panels

— Eight vista RJ-45 ports

Front Panel

The front panel of the Model FS308 switch contains the following LEDs that

correspond to each network port located on the back of the hub: 100 Mbps link/

activity (100 Link/Act), 10 Mbps link/activity (10 Link/Act), and full-duplex/

collision (FDX/Col). Each vista RJ-45 network port has its own 100 Link/Act

and 10 Link/Act LED as well.

LEDs

The table below describes the activity of the LEDs.

Vista RJ-45 Network Ports with Built-in LEDs

All of the ports on the switch are 10/100 Mbps capable autosensing Ethernet

ports. Each port supports only unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable using an 8-

pin RJ-45 plug. Each port uses vista RJ-45 connectors that have two LEDs—the

100 Link/Act LED and the 10 Link/Act LED.

Normal/Uplink Push Button

The Normal/Uplink push button on the front panel of the switch allows you to

select uplink (MDI) or normal (MDI-X) wiring for port 8 on the Model FS308

switch. These ports are configured for normal wiring to connect to a PC when

the push button is in the out position. When the push button is pressed in, these

ports are configured for uplink wiring to connect to another switch or to a hub,

using a straight-through twisted pair cable.

Rear Panel

The rear panel of the Model FS308 switch has eight autosensing 10/100 Mbps

Ethernet ports. The rear panel also has full-duplex (FDX) and auto-duplex

(AUTO) toggle switches and a power adapter receptacle for the supplied power

cord.

FDX/AUTO Duplex Toggle Switches

One full-duplex (FDX) and auto-duplex (AUTO) toggle switch is assigned to

each 10/100 Mbps port, enabling the communication mode to be set to either

full-duplex or auto-duplex mode. Full-duplex mode doubles throughput of

point-to-point connections by letting individual ports transmit and receive

concurrently when the connecting device also supports full-duplex mode.

Setting the toggle switch to AUTO on the 10/100 Mbps port enables the port to

determine duplex mode by coordinating with the remote port. In most cases, the

toggle switch should be set to AUTO. If the remote port is a repeater or hub or

cannot provide the proper signal to indicate its duplex capability, the port

defaults to half-duplex mode.

Set the port to full-duplex mode only if the remote device is full-duplex capable

but cannot provide the proper signal to indicate so.

The Model FS308 switch is designed to provide flexibility in configuring your

network connections. Each switch can be used as a standalone device or can be

used with 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps hubs or other interconnection devices in

various configurations. The configuration examples in this section illustrate the

integration of the switches in various network environments using other

NETGEAR products.

Desktop Switching

The Model FS308 switch is used as a desktop switch to build a small network

that enables users to have 100 Mbps access to a file server. If a full-duplex

adapter card is installed in the server or PC, a 200 Mbps connection is possible

on the port where the server or PC is connected.

Segment Switching and Bridging from 10 Mbps to 100 Mbps

The Model FS308 switch is used as a switch that segments a network into

multiple connected pieces, increasing overall bandwidth and throughput. The

Model FS308 switch can segment networks that are built with the NETGEAR

Model DS108 and Model EN104 hubs and can function as an eight-port bridge

connecting traditional 10BASE-T Ethernet networks to 100BASE-TX Fast

Ethernet networks.

Twisted Pair Cables

For two devices to communicate, the transmitter of each device must be

connected to the receiver of the other device. The crossover function is usually

implemented internally as part of the circuitry in the device. Most ports on

switches and repeaters have media-dependent interfaces with crossover ports.

These ports are referred to as MDI-X or normal ports. Computer and

workstation adapter cards are usually media-dependent interface ports referred

to as MDI or uplink ports.

These two figures illustrate the use of straight-through and crossover twisted

pair cables.

RJ-45 Connector

The RJ-45 connector (shown in the illustration with an RJ-45 plug) is used to

connect workstations, hubs, and switches through unshielded twisted pair cable.

The RJ-45 connector accepts four-pair Category 3 or Category 5 UTP cable.

Only two pairs are used for 10BASE-T wiring.
