2 Hardware Overview This chapter describes the switch hardware features.
S350 Series 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Pro Switch Hardware overview of model GS308T Model GS308T provides eight 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports. Model GS308T: Front panel with ports and LEDs The following figure shows the front panel of model GS308T. Figure 1. Model GS308T front panel From left to right, the front panel of model GS308T provides the following components: • Power LED (see Model GS308T: LEDs on page 13). • Recessed Reset button (see Reset button on page 16).
S350 Series 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Pro Switch Model GS308T: LEDs This section describes the LED designations of model GS308T. Table 1. Model GS308T LEDs on the front panel LED Description Power LED Solid green. The switch is powered on and operating normally. Solid yellow. The switch is booting. Off. Power is not supplied to the switch. RJ-45 left LED Link, speed, and activity for Ethernet ports 1 to 8 Off. No link is established. Solid green. A valid 1 Gbps link is established.
S350 Series 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Pro Switch • Eight independent 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 PoE+ ports (1–8, see RJ-45 ports for 10/100/1000M BASE-T Ethernet connectivity on page 16), each with a left LED that functions as the combined link, speed, and activity LED and a right LED that indicates the PoE status (see Model GS310TP: LEDs on page 14).

Model GS310TP LEDs on the front panel (Continued) LED Description RJ-45 left LED Link, speed, and activity for Ethernet ports 1 to 8 Off. No link is established. Solid green. A valid 1 Gbps link is established. Blinking green. The port is transmitting or receiving packets at 1 Gbps. Solid yellow. A valid 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps link is established. Blinking yellow. The port is transmitting or receiving packets at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.
S350 Series 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Pro Switch RJ-45 ports for 10/100/1000M BASE-T Ethernet connectivity All RJ-45 copper ports support autosensing. When you insert a cable into an RJ-45 port, the switch automatically ascertains the maximum speed (10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1 Gbps) and duplex mode (half-duplex or full-duplex) of the attached device. All ports support a Cat 5e cable (or higher-rated Ethernet cable) terminated with an 8-pin RJ-45 connector.
S350 Series 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Pro Switch • Return the switch to its factory default settings. Press the Reset button for at least five seconds. The switch restarts and returns to its factory default settings. During this process, the Power LED lights yellow.
3 Applications The switch is designed to provide flexibility in configuring network connections. The switch can be used as your only network traffic–distribution device for PoE and non-PoE devices or with 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1 Gbps Ethernet and fiber hubs, routers, access point, and other switches.
S350 Series 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Pro Switch Desktop switching You can use either model GS308T or model GS310TP as a desktop switch to build a small network that provides up to 1 Gbps access to desktop computers, non-PoE surveillance cameras, a NAS, servers such as a file server, an IPTV, and so on. In a small network such as a small office or home office network, connect the switch to a router that, in turn, is connected to an Internet modem.
S350 Series 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Pro Switch If the power requirements for attached devices exceed the total power budget of the switch, the PoE power to the device on the highest-numbered active PoE+ port is disabled to make sure that the devices connected to the higher-priority, lower-numbered PoE+ ports are supported first. Although a device is listed as an 802.3at PoE+-or 802.3af PoE–powered device, it might not require the maximum power limit that is specified by its IEEE standard.
4 Installation This chapter describes the installation procedures for the switch.
S350 Series 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Pro Switch Step 1: Prepare the site Before you install the switch, make sure that the operating environment meets the site requirements that are listed in the following table. Table 4. Site requirements Characteristics Requirements Mounting Provide a flat table or shelf surface for desktop installation.
S350 Series 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Pro Switch You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD): • When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, leave it in the antistatic package until you are ready to install it. Just before unwrapping the antistatic package, discharge static electricity from your body. • Before moving a sensitive component, place it in an antistatic container or package.
S350 Series 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Pro Switch Step 4: Install the switch on a flat surface Install the switch on a flat surface. The rubber footpads cushion the switch against shock and vibrations. They also provide ventilation space. Optional Step 5: Install SFP transceiver modules (model GS310TP) The following optional procedure describes how to install an optional SFP transceiver module into one of the SFP ports of model GS310TP.
S350 Series 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Pro Switch Step 7: Check the installation Before you apply power to the switch, perform the following steps. To check the installation: 1. Inspect the equipment thoroughly. 2. Verify that all cables are installed correctly. 3. Check cable routing to make sure that cables are not damaged or creating a safety hazard. 4. Make sure that all equipment is mounted properly and securely.
S350 Series 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Pro Switch Step 9: Manage the switch The switch contains built-in web browser–accessible software for viewing, changing, and monitoring the way it functions. This management software is not required for the switch to work. You can use the ports without using the management software.
5 Troubleshooting This chapter provides information about troubleshooting the switch.
S350 Series 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Pro Switch Troubleshooting chart The following table lists symptoms, possible causes, and possible solutions for problems that might occur. Table 5. Troubleshooting chart Symptom Possible Cause Possible Solution Power LED is off. Power is not supplied to the switch. Check the power cable connections at the switch and the power source. Make sure that all cables are used correctly and comply with the Ethernet specifications.
S350 Series 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Pro Switch PoE troubleshooting suggestions (model GS310TP) Here are some tips for correcting PoE problems that might occur on model GS310TP: • Make sure that the PoE Max LED is off. If the PoE Max LED is solid yellow, disconnect one or more PoE devices to prevent PoE oversubscription. Start by disconnecting the device from the highest-numbered port. • Make sure that the Ethernet cables are plugged in correctly.
S350 Series 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Pro Switch • Switch integrity. If necessary, verify the integrity of the switch by resetting it. To reset the switch, disconnect the DC power from the switch and then reconnect the DC power. If the problem continues, contact NETGEAR technical support.
