GS108T Hardware Installation Guide
1-2 Introduction
v1.0, January 2010
The GS108T Smart Switch is a free-standing switch. It is IEEE-compliant and offers low latency
for high-speed networking. All ports can automatically negotiate to the highest speed. This
capability makes the switch ideal for environments that have a mix of Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, or
Gigabit Ethernet devices. In addition, all RJ-45 ports operate in half-duplex or full-duplex mode.
The maximum segment length is 328 feet (100 meters) over Category 5 Unshielded Twisted-Pair
(UTP) cable.
Features
The following list identifies the key features of the GS108T Smart Switch.
• Eight RJ-45 10/100/1000 Mbps auto sensing Gigabit switching ports.
• The devices support full NETGEAR Smart Switch functionality.
• The devices provide full compatibility with IEEE standards:
• IEEE 802.3i, (10BASE-T)
• IEEE 802.3u (100BASE-TX)
• IEEE 802.3ab (1000BASE-T)
• IEEE 802.3x (Full-duplex flow control)
• IEEE 802.3af (Power over Ethernet)
• Auto-sensing and auto-negotiating capabilities for all ports.
• Auto Uplink™ on all ports to make the right connection.
• Automatic address learning function to build the packet-forwarding information table. The
table contains up to 4K Media Access Control (MAC) addresses.
• Store-and-Forward transmission to remove bad packets from the network.
• Full-duplex IEEE 802.3x pause frame flow control.
• Active flow control to minimize packet loss/frame drops.
• Half-duplex back-pressure control.
• Per port LEDs, power LED.
• NETGEAR Green product series.
• External 12V/1A PA or power obtained from IEEE 802.3af PSE.
