Product Information:
The 8-port Ultra60 PoE++ Multi-Gigabit (2.5G) Ethernet Plus
Switch, model MS108EUP, is a high-performance switch designed for
indoor use. It supports PoE++ (Power over Ethernet) technology,
allowing you to power devices such as APs (Access Points), cameras,
and conference phones through the Ethernet cable. The switch
provides 2.5 Gbps link speed on certain ports, enabling faster data
transfer for compatible devices. It also features LED indicators
for power, PoE budget, and port status.
Package Contents:
- 8-port Ultra60 PoE++ Multi-Gigabit Ethernet Plus Switch
(MS108EUP)
Important Notes:
- For Gigabit Ethernet connections, it is recommended to use a
Category 5e (Cat 5e) cable or higher-rated cable. - If you intend to connect the switch to an outdoor device,
ensure proper grounding, surge protection, and the installation of
an Ethernet surge protector inline between the switch and the
outdoor device. Failure to do so can damage the switch. Refer to
the provided link for safety and warranty information: https://kb.netgear.com/000057103

operation, while off means no power supply. - PoE Max LED: Indicates the status of the
switch’s PoE budget. Off means sufficient PoE power is available,
solid yellow means less than 7W of PoE power is available, and
blinking yellow indicates insufficient PoE power during the
previous two minutes. - Left Port LED: Solid green indicates a 2.5
Gbps link on the port, blinking green indicates 2.5 Gbps activity,
solid yellow indicates a 1000 Mbps or 100 Mbps link, blinking
yellow indicates 1000 Mbps or 100 Mbps activity, and off means no
link detected. - Right Port LED: Solid green means the port is
delivering PoE power, off means no PoE power, and solid yellow
indicates a PoE fault occurred.

NOTE: We recommend that you use a Category 5e (Cat 5e) cable or higherrated cable for Gigabit Ethernet connections.
This switch is designed for indoor use only. If you want to connect it to a device located outdoors, the outdoor device must be properly grounded and surge protected, and you must install an Ethernet surge protector inline between the switch and the outdoor device. Failure to do so can damage the switch.
WARNING: Before connecting this switch to outdoor cables or devices, see https://kb.netgear.com/000057103 for safety and warranty information.
3. Check the LEDs
When you connect the power adapter to the switch and plug the cable into an electrical outlet, the LEDs indicate the status:

Mount the switch on a wall
We recommend that you use the wallmount screws that are included. 1. Locate the two mounting holes on the bottom panel of the switch. 2. Mark and drill two mounting holes in the wall where you want to mount the switch.
The two mounting holes must be 3.937 in. (100 mm) apart, centertocenter. 3. Insert the supplied anchors into the wall and tighten the screws with a No. 2 Phillips
screwdriver. Leave about 0.125 in. (4 mm) of each screw protruding from the wall so that you can insert the screws into the holes on the bottom panel. NOTE: The screws are 0.25 in. (6.5 mm) in diameter, 0.63 in. (16 mm) in length.
PoE considerations
PoE power supplied by the switch is prioritized in ascending port order (from port 1 to port 8). The switch can supply a total of 230W across all active PoE+ and PoE++ ports.
· Ports 14: Each port can supply up to 60W PoE++ (802.3bt) power.
· Ports 58: Each port can supply up to 30W PoE+ (802.3at) power.
This table shows the standard power ranges without overrides applied, calculated with the maximum cable length of 328 feet (100 meters). If a device receives insufficient PoE power from the switch, consider using a shorter cable.

PoE troubleshooting
Here are some tips for correcting PoE problems that might occur:
· If the PoE Max LED is solid yellow, disconnect one or more PoE devices to prevent PoE oversubscription.
· For each powered device (PD) that is connected to the switch, the associated PoE LED on the switch lights solid green. If the PoE LED lights solid yellow, a PoE fault occurred and PoE halted because of one of the conditions listed in the following table:
PoE Fault Condition
A PoErelated short circuit occurred on the port.
The PoE power demand of the PD exceeded the maximum level that the switch permits. The maximum level is 15.4W for a PoE connection, 30W for a PoE+ connection, and 60W for a PoE++ connection.
The PoE current on the port exceeded the classification limit of the PD.
The PoE voltage of the port is outside the range that the switch permits.
Possible Solution
The problem is most likely with the attached PD. Check the condition of the PD, or restart the PD by disconnecting and reconnecting the PD.
Restart the switch to see if the condition resolves itself.
