Physical Description 2. 2 This chapter describes the NETGEAR GS110T Smart Switch hardware features. Topics include: • GS110T Front-Panel Configuration • LED Designations • Device Hardware Interfaces GS110T Front-Panel Configuration The GS110T has eight 10/100/1000 Mbps autosensing and two 1000 Mbps SFP Gigabit Ethernet switching ports. Each RJ-45 port is capable of sensing the line speed and negotiating the duplex mode with the link partner automatically.
NETGEAR GS110T Smart Switch GS110T Back-Panel Configuration Figure 3 illustrates the GS110T back panel. Power Connector Figure 3. GS110T Back Panel The back panel contains the following: • External 12V/1A power adapter for the GS110T LED Designations Port LEDs Table 1 describes the RJ-45 and SFP port LED designations. There are two LEDs for each RJ-45 port. Each SFP port has its own indication LED. Table 1.
NETGEAR GS110T Smart Switch System LEDs Table 2 describes the system LED designations. Table 2. System LEDs LED Designation Power/Status LED • Solid Green = Power is supplied to the switch and the switch is operating normally. • Solid Yellow = The switch is booting. • Off = Power is disconnected. Device Hardware Interfaces RJ-45 Ports RJ-45 ports are autosensing ports.
NETGEAR GS110T Smart Switch Factory Defaults Button The Smart Switch has a Factory Defaults button on the front panel so that you can remove the current configuration and return the device to its factory settings. When you enable the Factory Defaults button, all settings including the password, VLAN settings, and port configurations are removed. To operate the Factory Defaults button, insert a device such as a paper clip into the opening to press the recessed button for two seconds.
3. Applications 3 Your NETGEAR GS110T Smart Switch is designed to provide flexibility in configuring your network connections. It can be used as a stand-alone device or with 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps hubs and switches. Desktop Switching The GS110T Smart Switch can be used as a desktop switch to build a small network that enables users to have 1000 Mbps access to a file server. With full-duplex enabled, the switch port connected to the server or PC can provide 2000 Mbps throughput.

4. Installation 4 This chapter describes the installation procedures for your NETGEAR GS110T Smart Switch.
NETGEAR GS110T Smart Switch Table 3. Site Requirements (continued) Characteristics Requirements Power source Provide a power adapter (included). Power specifications for the switch are shown in Appendix A. Ensure the AC outlet is not controlled by a wall switch, which can accidentally turn off power to the outlet and the switch. Environmental • Temperature - Install the switch in a dry area, with ambient temperature between 0ºC and 50ºC (32ºC and 122ºF).
NETGEAR GS110T Smart Switch Step 3: Checking the Installation Before applying power to the switch, perform the following: • Inspect the equipment thoroughly. • Verify that all cables are installed correctly. • Check cable routing to make sure cables are not damaged or creating a safety hazard. • Ensure all equipment is mounted properly and securely. Step 4: Connecting Devices to the Switch The following procedure describes how to connect PCs to the switch’s RJ-45 ports.
NETGEAR GS110T Smart Switch Step 5: Applying AC Power Before connecting the power cord, select an AC outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch, which can turn off power to the switch. After selecting an appropriate outlet, use the following procedure to apply AC power: 1. Connect the end of the supplied IEC AC power adapter cable to the power receptacle on the back of the switch. 2. Connect the AC power adapter cable into a power source such as a wall socket or power strip.
