Introduction
The NETGEAR® 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch Model GS105 provides you with a low-cost,
reliable, high-performance switch to connect up to five different Ethernet-enabled devices (such as
computers, file servers and routers) at blazing Gigabit Ethenet speeds.
The GS105 Gigabit Ethernet Switch enables you to build a small network that gives you 10,
100, or 1000 Mbps access to other devices on the network. It provides a full, dedicated 1000
(or 100, or 10 Mbps) connection between two devices. If a device has full-duplex capability,
the GS105 switch provides a 2000 Mbps (or 200, or 20 Mbps) connection. This means the
GS105 can instantly move even very large files across your network. As an added benefit, this
switch works with both Windows and Macintosh computers.
Ethernet cables come as either straight-through or crossover cables—depending on whether
you’re connecting to a device (computer, server, or printer) or networking equipment (hub,
switch, or router). With the Auto Uplink™ feature, you don’t have to worry about which one
you use. Each port on the GS105 switch automatically configures itself correctly when you
plug in a device’s cable.
If you have a problem with your switch, NETGEAR offers support 24 hours a day and 7 days
a week on the Web (www.NETGEAR.com), by e-mail (support@NETGEAR.com) and by
phone (see the provided support information card for phone numbers).
