Start Here The NETGEAR™ Model DS104, Model DS106, Model DS108, and Model DS116 Dual Speed Hubs are network hubs that enable users to mix and match 10 and 100 megabit per second (Mbps) devices on the same network. This capability eliminates the high cost and complexity of separate network equipment for 10 and 100 Mbps users. These four hubs, also known as the DS100 Series hubs, are ideal for small networks in transition from 10 to 100 Mbps and for linking networks operating at different speeds.
Package Contents Verify that the package contains the following items, as shown in the diagram: • DS100 Series hub • Wall mount hardware • Rubber footpads for tabletop installation • This installation guide • Warranty & Owner Registration Card • Support Information Card • Power adapter Model DS104, Model DS106, Model DS108, or Model DS116 hub (Model DS116 shown) Power Collision 10M Link Activity 100M Link Activity Normal/Upl ink Rubber footpads Power adapter Wall mount hardware Install
Typical Applications Refer to the following illustration when connecting your DS100 Series hub. The illustration shows a Model DS116 hub connecting users to a printer, servers, and a router. You can substitute a Model DS104, Model DS106, or Model DS108 hub, depending on the number of connections required.

Model DS104, Model DS106, and Model DS108 LEDs Label Color Activity Description Power Green On Power is supplied to the hub. 10 Mbps Amber On Data collision is occurring on the 10 Mbps network segment (some collisions are normal). 100 Mbps Amber On Data collision is occurring on the 100 Mbps network segment (some collisions are normal). 10 Mbps Green Blinking Indicates the amount of data traffic on the 10 Mbps segment.
Vista RJ-45 Network Ports with Built-in LEDs The front panel of the Model DS104 hub provides four vista RJ-45 network ports (six on the Model DS106 hub, eight on the Model DS108 hub, 16 on the Model DS116 hub). These standard RJ-45 connectors accept two-pair or fourpair Category 5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) copper wiring (only two pairs are used). The RJ-45 connector uses an 8-pin interface. Two LEDs are positioned at the top corners of each RJ-45 connector.
Installation Procedures Prepare the Site Before you begin installing the hub, prepare the installation site. Make sure the site meets the operating environment requirements of the equipment. Characteristic Requirement Temperature Ambient temperature between 0° and 40° C (32° and 104° F). No nearby heat sources such as direct sunlight, warm air exhausts, or heaters. Humidity 90% maximum relative humidity, noncondensing. Ventilation Minimum 2 inches (5.08 cm) on all sides for cooling.
Connect a PC to the Hub Power Collision 10M Link Activity 100M Link Activity Norma l/Uplin k 9097FA Set Normal/Uplink Push Button The Normal/Uplink push button on the front panel of the hub allows you to select the Uplink (MDI) or Normal (MDI-X) position for port 4 on the Model DS104 hub, port 6 on the Model DS106 hub, port 8 on the Model DS108 hub, and port 16 on the Model DS116 hub. All other ports are wired Normal for direct connection to PCs.
Connect Hubs at 10/100 Mbps 10 or 100 Mbps Transmission with the Hub Two Model DS104 hubs, two Model DS106 hubs, two Model DS108 hubs, two Model DS116 hubs, or a combination of DS100 Series hubs can be daisychained together at 100 Mbps to support a growing number of PCs. For larger networks, use a 10/100 Mbps switch such as the NETGEAR Model FS104 switch, as shown in the illustration below.
Verify the Installation When installation is complete and power has been applied to the hub, the following conditions should exist: • Power LED is on. • Link LED on each connected port is on. • Utilization LEDs on the front panel are blinking when data is being received by any port in the hub, and the Link/Receive LED on the connected port is blinking when data is being received by that port. If there are any problems, refer to the Troubleshooting table.
