SFP GBIC modules. The NETGEAR Smart Switch can be used as a desktop to build a small network that enables you to have 1000 Mbps access to a file server. With full-duplex enabled, the switch port connected to the server or PC can provide 2000 Mbps throughput.
GS700TS Hardware Installation Guide Figure 1-1 Switch Features The following list identifies the key features of the NETGEAR Smart Switch. • 24/48 RJ-45 10/100/1000M auto-sensing Giga switching ports. • Four Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) GBIC slots, which function as combo ports. Combo ports are single ports with two physical connections, SFP fiber and RJ-45 copper.
• The devices support full Netgear Smart Switch functionality and provide full compatibility with the following IEEE standards: – IEEE 802.3i, (10Base-T) – IEEE 802.3u (100Base-TX, 100Base-FX) – IEEE 802.3x (Full-duplex flow control) – IEEE 802.3ab (1000Base-T) – IEEE 802.3z (1000Base-X) –...
A device can operate in one of the following modes: • Stand-alone – The unit runs as a general switch and does not run the stacking application. • Master Unit – Manages the Stack and is responsible for the configuration.

This chapter describes the installation procedures for your NETGEAR Smart Switch. Switch installation involves the following steps: Step 1: Preparing the Site Step 2: Installing the Switch Step 3: Checking the Installation Step 4: Connecting Devices to the Switch Step 5: Installing an SFP GBIC Module...
Step 2: Installing the Switch The NETGEAR Smart Switch can be installed on a flat surface or in a standard 19-inch rack. Installing the Switch on a Flat Surface The switch ships with four self-adhesive rubber footpads. Stick one rubber footpad on each of the four concave spaces on the bottom of the switch.
GS700TS Hardware Installation Guide 5. Tighten the screws with a #2 Phillips screwdriver to secure the switch in the rack. Figure 2-1 Note: Always install devices from the bottom of the to the top. This will prevent the rack from over balancing and toppling over.
Step 4: Connecting Devices to the Switch The following procedure describes how to connect PCs to the switch’s RJ-45 ports. The NETGEAR Smart Switch contains Auto Uplink™ technology, which allows you to attach devices using either straight-through or crossover cables.
GS700TS Hardware Installation Guide 2. Press firmly to ensure the module seats into the connector Figure 2-3 Step 6: Installing a Device The device can operate as part of a stack. The HX stacking ports on the back of the device are used for connecting the devices in a stack.
For more information on stacking see the NETGEAR Smart Switch User Guide. Step 7: Applying AC Power NETGEAR Smart Switch does not have an ON/OFF switch. The method of applying or removing AC power is by connecting or disconnecting the power cord. Before connecting the power cord, select a grounded 3-pronged AC source that is not controlled by a wall switch, which can turn off power to the switch.
Step 8: Managing the Switch through a Web Browser or the PC Utility for Initial Configuration The NETGEAR Smart Switch contains software for viewing, changing, and monitoring the way it works. This management software is not required for the switch to work. You can use the ports without using the management software.
Front and Back Panel Configuration GS724TS Front and Back Panels The NETGEAR GS724TS Smart Switch is a 24-Port 10/100/1000 + 4-Port SFP Combo port switch, with each RJ45 ports capable of sensing the line speed and negotiating the operation duplex mode with the link partner automatically.
Two 19 pin HX stacking ports for full-duplex stacking linking. GS748TS Front and Back Panels The NETGEAR GS748TS Smart Switch is a 48-Port 10/100/1000 + 4-Port SFP Combo port smart stackable switch, with each RJ45 ports capable of sensing the line speed and negotiating the operation duplex mode with the link partner automatically.
Figure 3-2 illustrates the NETGEAR GS748TS Smart Switch back panel: Figure 3-4 The back panel contains the following: • A 100-240VAC/50-60 Hz universal input, which is a standard AC power receptacle for accommodating the supplied power cord. • Two 19 pin HX stacking ports for full-duplex stacking linking.
• Off - Switch acts as a slave member in a stack of switches. • Solid Green - Switch acts as a master unit in a stack of switches. The Stack Master LED is lit if there is an active stack link, and the unit is in stack mode.
Factory Defaults Button RJ-45 Ports RJ-45ports are auto-sensing ports. When inserting a cable into an RJ-45 port, the switch automatically ascertains the maximum speed (10 or 100 or 1000 Mbps) and duplex mode (half- or full-duplex) of the attached device. All ports support only Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP) cable terminated with an 8-pin RJ-45 plug.
The GBIC module bays accommodate standard SFP GBIC modules, such as the AGM731F, AGM732F, or AGM733 from NETGEAR, allowing fiber connections on the network. The module bay is a combo port, sharing a connection with an RJ-45 port. Being a combo port, only one type of connection can be active at any given time.
This chapter provides information about troubleshooting the NETGEAR Smart Switch. The topics include the following: • Troubleshooting Chart • Additional Troubleshooting Suggestions Troubleshooting Chart The following table lists symptoms, causes, and solutions of possible problems. Table A-1. Troubleshooting Chart Symptom Cause Power LED is off.
AC power from the switch and then reconnect AC source. If the problem continues, contact NETGEAR technical support. In North America, call 1-888-NETGEAR. If you are outside of North America, please refer to the support information card included with your product.
The RJ-45 ports negotiate the correct duplex mode and speed if the device at the other end of the link supports auto-negotiation. If the device does not support auto negotiation, the switch only determines the speed correctly and the duplex mode defaults to half-duplex.
