NETGEAR ETHERNET SWITCH SW108 - Manual (Page 23)

Installation Guide for the Model SW108 Ethernet Switch
Installation 4-3
3. Set the FDX or HDX toggle switches on the rear panel for the selected duplex mode.
A hub and repeater use a common collision domain for all communications and cannot
support full-duplex mode. When connecting any of the 10 Mbps ports on the switch to a
hub, set the port to HDX. When connecting to a PC, a server, or another switch, the duplex
setting for the port must be the same as the duplex setting on the PC, server, or other switch
.
4. Connect one end of the DC power adapter cable to the power outlet on the rear panel of
the switch and the other end of the power adapter cable to the wall outlet.
Verifying Installation
When the installation is complete and power has been applied to the switch, the following
conditions should exist:
• The Power LED on the front panel is on.
• The Link LED on each connected port is on.
• The Rx/Tx/Collision LED on the connected port blinks green when data is being
received by the port and blinks yellow when data collision is occurring on the port.
If you encounter any problems, refer to Chapter 5, “Troubleshooting.”
Note: Whenever a port changes between FDX and HDX mode, the Model SW108
switch resets and traffic in all ports temporarily stops. When the switch resets, the list
of learned addresses is not affected.
