    Stacking ports Front & Rear Panels Figures 2-1 and 2-2 show the key components on the front and back panels of the NETGEAR Model FSM726S & FSM750S Managed Stackable Switch The front panel contains LEDs, RJ-45 jacks, GBIC module bays, and a console port. The back panel has two stacking ports and a standard AC power receptacle for accommodating the supplied power cord.
  • Page 11: 10/100 Mbps Rj-45 Ports

    10/100 Mbps RJ-45 Ports As Figures 2-1 and 2-3 shows, the FSM726S/FSM750S Managed Stackable Switch has 24 or 48 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 ports. These ports are auto-sensing 10/100 Mbps ports: When you insert a cable into an RJ- 45 port, the switch automatically ascertains the maximum speed (10 or 100 Mbps) and duplex mode (half- or full-duplex) of the attached device.
  • Page 12: Led Descriptions

    LED Descriptions The front panel of the NETGEAR Model FSM726S/FSM750S Managed Stackable Switch has LEDs that provide a quick and accurate display of port speed, activity, collisions, and duplex mode. The Gigabit Ethernet ports also have LEDs that show link and mode status. Table 2-1 summarizes the LEDs on the switch and Gigabit Ethernet module.

    The following procedure describes how to install a GBIC Gigabit Ethernet module, such as the NETGEAR AGM721F, in the switch’s Gigabit module bays. The AGM721F is sold separately from the FSM726S/FSM750S. If you do not want to install a GBIC module at this time, skip this procedure. To install a GBIC module: 1.
  • 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.
  • Page 18: Figure 3-4. System Information

    SNMP configuration can be done through either the console or web browser 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.
