Gigabit connectivity to eliminate bottlenecks, boost performance, and increase productivity. To simplify installation, the switch is shipped ready for use out of the box. This chapter serves as an introduction to the GS700TR Series Smart Switch and provides the following information: •...
Initial discovery of the switch on the network requires the Smart Wizard Discovery program, a utility that runs on a PC. The GS700TR Series Smart Switch can be free-standing, or rack mounted in a wiring closet or equipment room. It is IEEE-compliant and offers low latency for high-speed networking. All ports can automatically negotiate to the highest speed.

This chapter describes the NETGEAR Smart Switch hardware features. Topics include: • GS724TR Front and Back Panel Configuration • GS748TR Front and Back Panel Configuration • LED Designations • Device Hardware Interfaces GS724TR Front and Back Panel Configuration The GS724TR is a 24-Port 10/100/1000M + 2 SFP Combo ports Smart Switch with Static Routing.
GS748TR Front and Back Panel Configuration The GS748TR is a 48-Port 10/100/1000M Smart Static Routing switch + 4 SFP Combo port switch. Every RJ45 port is capable of sensing the line speed and negotiating the operation duplex mode with the link partner automatically...
• System LEDs Figure 2-4 illustrates the NETGEAR GS748TR Smart Switch back panel: Figure 2-4 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.
Device Hardware Interfaces 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, 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 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.
5. Tighten the screws with a #2 Phillips screwdriver to secure the switch in the rack. Figure 4-1 Step 3: Checking the Installation Before applying power perform the following: • Inspect the equipment thoroughly. • Verify that all cables are installed correctly.
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 the attaching of devices using either straight-through or crossover cables.
Figure 4-3 Step 6: 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 an AC outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch, which can turn off power to the switch.
Step 7: Managing the Switch using a Web Browser or the PC Utility 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. The ports can be used without using the management software.
This chapter provides information about troubleshooting the NETGEAR Smart Switch. 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 reapply AC power. 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.
