Page 10: Chapter 2: Physical Description
Reset Button Front and Back Panels Figures 2-1 and 2-2 show the key components on the front and back panels of the NETGEAR Model FSM726 Managed Switch The front panel contains LEDs, RJ-45 jacks, GBIC module bays, and a console port. The back panel has a standard AC power receptacle for accommodating the supplied power cord. -
Page 11: Gigabit Ethernet Ports (Rj-45 And Gbic Module Bay)
In Figure 2-3, for example, connecting two RJ-45 ports on a NETGEAR Model FSM726 Managed Switch to a router containing a 4-port switch creates a loop. The Spanning Tree protocol will prevent loops, if that advanced feature is enabled. -
Page 12: Led Descriptions
Two LED / Port Console Port Your NETGEAR Model FSM726 Managed Switch has a console port on the front panel. This port is labeled Console and is required for initial management configuration of the switch. It also lets you manage the switch using a directly connected VT-100 terminal, personal computer (PC), Apple Macintosh, or UNIX workstation. -
Page 13: Reset Button
In addition to using the console port, you can manage the switch using a Web browser or a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) management program. Note: You must use the console port for the initial management configuration. For more information about console-port connections, see “Connecting to the Console Port” in Chapter 3 Installation. -

Page 15: Step 2: Installing The Switch
Step 2: Installing the Switch You can install your NETGEAR Model FSM726 Managed Switch 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. -

2. Connect the 3-pronged end of the AC power adapter cable to a grounded 3-pronged AC outlet. When you apply power, the Power LED on the switch’s front panel will be Yellow, as it conducts a Power On Self Test (POST). -
Page 17: Step 7: Connecting To The Console Port To Manage The Switch (Initial Configuration)
To learn the IP address, you must first access the management via the console interface. After you power-up the switch for the first time, you can connect to it using a VT100/ANSI terminal or a PC, Apple Macintosh, or UNIX workstation that is directly connected to the switch’s console port. -

GUI. Note: You need to know the IP address of the switch in order to use your browser or SNMP application to manage the switch. If you leave the switch IP mode in the default DHCP mode, the IP address of your switch could change, and you would have to reconnect to the switch via the console port to discover the new IP address. - Page 19 8. Select ‘C’ for Reset Switch, and confirm with a ‘Y’ To continue using the console interface to manage your switch, e.g. set GBIC ports, hit ‘ESC’ to go to the main menu. To set the GBIC ports, go to Set-up, then Port Configuration. Use your arrow keys to move the curser down to port 25 or 26, and hit the space bar to toggle between the RJ-45 port and the GBIC port.
