GS110TP Hardware Installation Guide
1-2 Introduction
v1.0, March 2010
The GS110TP Smart PoE Switch is a free-standing switch. It is IEEE-compliant and offers low
latency for high-speed networking. All ports can automatically negotiate to the highest speed. This
capability makes the switch ideal for environments that have a mix of Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, or
Gigabit Ethernet devices. In addition, all RJ-45 ports operate in half-duplex or full-duplex mode.
The maximum segment length is 328 feet (100 meters) over Category 5 Unshielded Twisted-Pair
(UTP) cable.
Features
The following list identifies the key features of the GS110TP Smart PoE Switch:
• Eight RJ-45 10/100/1000 Mbps autosensing Gigabit Ethernet switching ports.
• Two 1000M SFP Gigabit Ethernet switching ports.
• Full NETGEAR Smart Switch functionality.
• Full compatibility with IEEE standards:
• IEEE 802.3 CSMA/CD
• IEEE 802.3i (10BASE-T)
• IEEE 802.3u (100BASE-TX)
• IEEE 802.3x (Full-duplex flow control)
• IEEE 802.3ab (1000BASE-T)
• IEEE 802.3z (1000BASE-x)
• IEEE 802.3af (DTE power via MDI)
• Autosensing and auto-negotiating capabilities for all ports.
• Auto Uplink™ on all ports to make the right connection.
• Automatic address learning function to build the packet-forwarding information table. The
table contains up to 4K Media Access Control (MAC) addresses.
• Store-and-Forward transmission to remove bad packets from the network.
• Full-duplex IEEE 802.3x pause frame flow control.
• Active flow control to minimize packet loss and frame drops.
• Half-duplex backpressure control.
• Per port LEDs, power LED.
