Follow these instructions to set up your smart switch. Before proceeding with the smart
switch installation, familiarize yourself with the contents of the Resource CD, especially the
reference manuals on your Resource CD.
First, Verify Package Contents
• NETGEAR GS108Tv2 Smart Switch
• Rubber footpads for tabletop installation
• 12V/1A Power Adapter
• Wall-mount kit
• Installation Guide
• Smart Switch Resource CD that includes the NETGEAR Device Manager utility (Smart
Control Center).
Then, Prepare to Install Your Smart Switch
Prepare a PC with an Ethernet adapter and a CD ROM drive.
Next, Install the NETGEAR Device Manager
Utility on a PC
1. Insert the Resource CD into your CD drive.
2. Run the Setup program to install the Smart Control Center utility. The Installation
Wizard will guide you through the installation.
Next, Connect Your Smart Switch in the
Correct Order
These instructions assume you are using DHCP in your network. If you are using static IP
addressing in your network, configure the switch IP address before connecting it to your
network. In the absence of a DHCP server, the switch will default to 192.168.0.239 for its IP
address.
To configure the switch before connecting it to your network:
1. Set up the PC with a Static IP address in the 192.168.0.x subnet, and connect the PC to
the switch. Then, use the Smart Control Center utility to configure the switch.
2. Connect each PC to an RJ-45 network port on the Switch front panel.
Use category 5 (Cat5) unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable terminated with an RJ-45
connector to make these connections.
3. Connect the switch to your network.
4. Connect the external power supply and power on the switch.
Note: The NETGEAR GS108T Smart Switch is a PoE Powered Device (PD) and can
receive power from PoE Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE). To power the GS108T
Smart Switch from a PoE power source, such as the NETGEAR GS748TPS ProSafe
Gigabit Stackable PoE Smart Switch, you can connect the PSE to Port 1 on the GS108T
Smart Switch through a standard Cat5 UTP cable. This allows the GS108T Smart
Switch to be powered by PoE.
5. Verify that the PC with the Smart Control Center utility is on the same subnet as the
switch.
Now, Configure the Switch with the NETGEAR
Device Manager Utility
1. Double-click the Smart Control Center icon on your desktop or in Windows
Start menu Programs to run the utility and view this screen.
