Hardware Installation Guide for the Prosafe Stackable Smart Switch FS700TS Series
Other Features
The following list identifies the key features of the NETGEAR Smart Switch.
•
24/48 RJ-45 10/100M auto sensing Fast Ethernet switching ports.
•
2-Port 10/100/1000M auto sensing Gigabit Ethernet switching ports. These ports are reserved
for stacking units together, but can be configured as user ports.
•
2 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 RJ-45 copper
ports corresponding to the Combo ports are the last 2 10/100/1000M auto sensing Fast
Ethernet switching ports on each device. If both devices are plugged in, the fiber connection is
active, with fiber port taking priority if both are connected.
•
FS700TS devices support full Netgear Smart Switch function.
•
FS700TS devices provide full compatibility with IEEE standards:
–
IEEE 802.3i, (10BASE-T)
–
IEEE 802.3u (100BASE-TX)
–
IEEE 802.3x (Full-duplex flow control)
–
IEEE 802.3ab (1000BASE-T)
–
IEEE 802.3z (1000BASE-X)
•
Auto-sensing and auto-negotiating capabilities for all ports.
•
Automatic address learning function to build the packet-forwarding information table. The
table contains up to 8K media access control (MAC) addresses.
•
Full- and Half-duplex functions for all 10/100Mbps ports.
•
Store-and-Forward transmission to remove bad packets from the network.
•
Full-duplex IEEE 802.3x pause frame flow control.
•
Active flow control to minimize packet loss/frame drops.
•
Half-duplex back-pressure control.
•
Per port LEDs, Power supply LED, Master LED and Stack ID indication.
•
Internal power supply.
•
Standard 1U high, rack mountable 17" chassis.
