Start Here The NETGEARTM 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. All four hub models connect PCs to share printers, files, Internet access, and email communications. Each network port coordinates with the connected PC to run at 10 or 100 Mbps, making network configuration and upgrade effortless. In addition, the 10 and 100 Mbps network segments are internally bridged to form one network, providing full connectivity among all users. Features The DS100 Series hubs have the following key features: · · Per port, autosensing, dual-speed (10/100 Mbps) operation IEEE 802.3u standard compliance for interoperation with all 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) products and 802.3i standard compliance for interoperation with all 10BASE-T Ethernet products Easy Plug-and-Play installation with no software to configure, saving time and minimizing the potential for configuration errors Ability of each port on the hub to independently detect the speed of the attached device and to automatically connect at the appropriate speed Internally bridged 10 and 100 Mbps network segments to form one network, providing full connectivity among all users Chassis equipped with: -- Four (Model DS104), six (Model DS106), eight (Model DS108), or 16 (Model DS116) 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX ports to provide fast information exchange, resource sharing, and client or peer-to-peer communication using simple Category 5 UTP wiring -- Built-in vista LEDs on each network port clearly indicating individual port status -- Additional LEDs providing network traffic status for the hub -- Two LED bar graphs (on the Model DS104, Model DS106, and Model DS108 only) providing online status of network utilization and alerting you to potential network overload -- Normal/Uplink push button for simplifying network extension · · Compact, durable design that enables tabletop or wall mounting Limited five-year warranty on the hub and three-year warranty on the power adapter · · · · Model DS104/DS106/DS108/DS116 Dual Speed Hub Installation Guide 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 Wall mount hardware Power adapter Installation guide, Warranty & Owner Registration Card, Support Information Card 9498FA Caution: Use the appropriate power cord as required by your national electrical codes and ordinances.

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. The left indicator is the 100 Mbps Link/Receive LED, and the right indicator is the 10 Mbps Link/Receive LED. The illustration shows the Model DS116 Link/Receive LEDs. The LEDs for the Model DS104, Model DS106, and Model DS108 hubs are identical.

Make sure the site meets the operating environment requirements of the equipment. Characteristic Temperature Requirement Ambient temperature between 0° and 40° C (32° and 104° F). No nearby heat sources such as direct sunlight, warm air exhausts, or heaters. 90% maximum relative humidity, noncondensing. Minimum 2 inches (5.08 cm) on all sides for cooling. Adequate airflow in room or wiring closet. At least 6 feet (1.83 m) to nearest source of electromagnetic noise (such as photocopy machine or arc welder). Minimum 12 inches (19.68 cm) front and back for service access and maintenance. Front and back clearance for cables and wiring hardware such as punchdown blocks. Adequate power source within 6 feet (1.83 m). Humidity Ventilation Operating conditions Service access Power Wiring hardware Wiring hardware, such as punchdown blocks or patch panels, complete before installing the hub. Install the Hub Install the Hub on a Flat Surface If installing the hub on a flat surface such as a tabletop, make sure the bottom of the chassis is clean and dry. To install the hub on a flat surface: 1. Set the hub on a table or shelf so that it has at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space on all sides. 2. Connect the power cord(s) first to the power entry receptacle on the hub rear panel and then to the wall. Install the Hub on a Wall If installing the hub on a wall, make sure you have a Phillips screwdriver. To install the hub on a wall: 1. Set the mounting screws and anchors (supplied with the wall mount hardware) in the wall. 2. Using the slots on the bottom of the hub, hang the hub on the wall. 3. Connect the power cord(s) first to the power entry receptacle on the hub rear panel and then to the wall.

All other ports are wired Normal for direct connection to PCs. Select Normal if connecting a PC, server, or router to the port. Select Uplink if connecting a hub or switch. The Normal/Uplink push button eliminates the need to use a crossover cable. Caution: 100 Mbps operation requires the use of Category 5 UTP wiring with 100 Mbps certified connectors. NETGEAR highly recommends using Category 5 cable so your network can operate at either 10 or 100 Mbps. Model DS104/DS106/DS108/DS116 Dual Speed Hub Installation Guide 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.
