Front View
What You Need Before You Begin
Decide where you want to place the switch. Find a flat horizontal surface — such as a
table, desk or shelf. The switch comes with screws that you can use for wall-mounting.
Make sure the selected location is:
•
Not in direct sunlight or near a heater or heating vent.
•
Not cluttered or crowded. There should be at least 2 inches (5 cm) of clear space on
all sides of the switch.
•
Well ventilated (especially if it is in a closet).
GS108P
Depending on the speed of your network devices, you need a Category 3 (10 Mbps),
Category 5 (100 Mbps) or Category 5e (1000 Mbps) Unshielded twisted pair Ethernet
cable with RJ-45 connectors for each device you want to connect to the switch. Each
Ethernet cable must be less than 328 feet (100 meters).

Installing the Switch and Connecting
the Other Devices
1.
Place the switch on a flat surface or hook onto the screws.
2.
For each device, insert one end of an Ethernet cable into the port in the device and
insert the other end into one of the Ethernet ports on the switch.
Note:
If you have more than 8 devices to connect to this switch, you must connect them to
a hub or other switch and then connect that hub or switch to this switch
LED
Status
Description
Power (Green LED)
On
The GS108P is powered on.
Off
Power is not being supplied to the unit.
PoE Status (Green LED
Ports 1-4)
On
The PoE powered device (PD) is connected and
the port is supplying power successfully.
Blink slow (1.5Hz) The port doesn't supply power because GS108P
available power is less than 7W.
Blink fast (10Hz)
Indicates one of the following failures resulted in
stopping power to that port:
· Short circuit on PoE power circuit
· PoE power demand exceeds power available
· PoE current exceeds PD's classification
· Thermal protection
Off
No PoE powered device (PD) connected.
PoE MAX (Amber LED)
On
Less than 7W of PoE power is available.
Blinking
The PoE MAX LED was active in the previous
two minutes.
Off
There is at least 7W of PoE power available.
Ethernet Port Status
(Green LED Ports 1-8)
On
A link has been successfully established on the
port.
Blinking
Port is transmitting or receiving data.
Off
There is no link.
3.
Connect the power adapter’s cord into the back of the switch and then plug the
adapter into a power source (such as a wall socket or power strip).The Power light
should light up. Each RJ-45 jack has 2 LEDs. For each jack that is connected to a
powered device, the Link LED is lit, and it flashes when activity occurs. If the
connection is 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, one LED lights up. If the connection is 1000
Mbps, both LEDs light up. If any light doesn't operate as indicated, go to the Trouble
shooting section.
Warning:
Use only the power adapter that came with the switch. Failure to use the
power adapter included with your product can damage the device and void your
warranty.
4.
Connect Power Devices (PDs) to Port 1 - Port 4 of GS108P. These PoE ports will
automatically activate when a compatible device is connected. The GS108P will not
provide power to PD devices that are not compatible with the PoE Standard IEEE
802.3af. This feature allows users to freely and safely mix legacy and standards-based
PoE devices on their network without concern for damaging equipment. (Refer to
“PoE Examples”.)
5.
First Insertion First Service. First Insertion PD Port will get higher priority. Last
Insertion PD Port will get lowest priority. When an Over Power Budget situation
happens, Last Insertion PD Port will be disconnected. If a port is stopped to supply
power, this port will lose its original port priority and change to lowest priority when
it gets power again.
