FS752TP Smart Switch LED Designations The front panel supports a number of LEDs that indicate basic status of the unit and individual ports, and are intended to assist in local fault diagnosis. System LEDs The System LEDs are located on the left side of the front panel.
FS752TP Smart Switch Designation LED Mode • Solid Green— Indicates port LEDs are in Ethernet mode. • Solid Yellow — Indicates port LEDs are in PoE mode. Port LEDs 10/100M Fast Ethernet Ports Each 10/100M port has a single bicolor LED. There are two operating modes, Ethernet mode and PoE mode for the port LED.

FS752TP Smart Switch 10/100/1000M Gigabit Ports Each 10/100/1000M copper port has one LED per port. The possible states and associated meaning are shown in the table below. Table 3. Link/ACT/Speed LED State Designation Solid Green A valid 1000 Mbps link is established on the port.
FS752TP Smart Switch Device Hardware Interfaces RJ-45 Ports RJ-45 ports are autosensing 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-duplex or full-duplex) of the attached device. All ports support only unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable terminated with an 8-pin RJ-45 plug.
FS752TP Smart Switch Reset Button The Smart Switch has a Reset button on the front panel to allow you to manually reboot the switch. This action is equivalent to powering the unit off and back on. The software detects the operation of the button and performs a full hardware reset of the CPU and switch subsystems.
Applications Your FS752TP Smart Switch is designed to provide flexibility in configuring your network connections. It can be used as your only network traffic-distribution device or with 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps hubs and switches.
FS752TP Smart Switch Desktop Switching The FS752TP can be used as a desktop switch to build a small network that enables users to have 100 Mbps access to a file server. With full-duplex enabled, the switch uplink port (port 49 to 52) connected to the server can provide 2000 Mbps throughput.
Installation This chapter describes the installation procedures for your FS752TP Smart Switch. Switch installation involves the following steps: Step 1: Preparing the Site Rackmount Considerations Step 2: Installing the Switch Step 3: Checking the Installation Step 4: Connecting Devices to the Switch...
FS752TP Smart Switch Step 1: Preparing the Site Before you install the switch, ensure the operating environment meets the site requirements in the following table. Characteristics Requirements Mounting • Desktop installations - Provide a flat table or shelf surface. • Rackmount installations - Use a 19-inch (48.3-centimeter) EIA standard equipment rack that is grounded and physically secure.
(e.g. use of power strips). Step 2: Installing the Switch The FS752TP can be used on a flat surface or mounted in a standard network equipment rack. Installing the Switch on a Flat Surface The switch ships with four self-adhesive rubber footpads.
FS752TP Smart Switch Step 3: Checking the Installation Before applying power to the switch, perform the following steps: • Inspect the equipment thoroughly. • Verify that all cables are installed correctly. • Check cable routing to make sure cables are not damaged or creating a safety hazard.
FS752TP Smart Switch Step 4: Connecting Devices to the Switch The following procedure describes how to connect PCs to the switch’s RJ-45 ports. The FS752TP contains Auto Uplink technology, which allows the attaching of devices using either straight-through or crossover cables. Power...
SFP ports of the switch. Note: Contact your NETGEAR sales office to buy these modules. If you do not want to install an SFP module, skip this procedure. To install an SFP transceiver, insert the transceiver into the SFP port. Press firmly on the flange of the module to seat it securely into the connector.
FS752TP Smart Switch Step 6: Applying AC Power The FS752TP Smart Switch does not have an ON/OFF switch. Power must be controlled by the power cord connection. 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 FS752TP 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.
Troubleshooting This chapter provides information about troubleshooting the NETGEAR Smart Switch. Topics include the following: • Troubleshooting Chart • Additional Troubleshooting Suggestions...
FS752TP Smart Switch Troubleshooting Chart The following table lists symptoms, causes, and solutions of possible problems. Symptom Cause Solution Power LED is off. No power is received. Check the power cord connections and the connected device. Ensure all cables used are correct and comply with Ethernet specifications.
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.
