GS700TPS Smart Switch for port and switch information, VLAN for traffic control, port trunking for increased bandwidth, and Class of Service (CoS) for traffic prioritization. These features provide better understanding and control of the network. Initial discovery of the switch on the network requires the Smart Wizard Discovery program, a utility that runs on a PC.
GS700TPS Smart Switch The NETGEAR Smart Switch can be used as a desktop to build a small network that enables 1000 Mbps access to a file server. With full-duplex enabled, the switch port connected to the server or PC can provide 2000 Mbps throughput.

GS700TPS Smart Switch stack master in the event of failure of stack master. The master and backup master are assigned unit IDs of 1 and 2. The Stack Master provides a Single point of control and management as well as a single interface in which to control and manage the stack. Switch software is downloaded separately for each stack members.
Chapter 2 Installation 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 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.
GS700TPS Smart Switch 5. Tighten the screws with a #2 Phillips screwdriver to secure the switch in the rack. Figure 2-1 Note: Always install devices from the bottom of the to the top. This will prevent the rack from over balancing and toppling over. Step 3: Checking the Installation Before applying power perform the following: •...
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 you to attach devices using either straight-through or crossover cables.
GS700TPS Smart Switch Step 5: Installing an SFP GBIC Module The following procedure describes how to install an SFP Gigabit Ethernet module in the switch’s Gigabit module bay. Standard SFP GBIC modules are sold separately from the Smart Switch. If you do not plan to install an SFP GBIC module at this time, skip this procedure.

GS700TPS Smart Switch Each unit may work in one of two modes: Stand-alone, or Stack-mode. The operational mode is determined at Boot time of the software, and can only be changed by a unit reset. The stacking 7 Segment LED is not illuminated (off) if the unit is operating in stand-alone mode. At factory default, units boot in Stack mode.
GS700TPS Smart Switch Step 7: 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 a grounded 3-pronged AC source that is not controlled by a wall switch, which can turn off power to the switch.

Chapter 3 Physical Description This chapter describes the NETGEAR Smart Switch hardware features. The topics include: • “Front and Back Panel Configuration” • “LED Designations” • “Device Hardware Interfaces” Front and Back Panel Configuration GS724TPS Front Panel The GS724TPS is a 24-Ports 10/100/1000M + 4 SFP Combo ports Smart switch. Every RJ45 port is capable of sensing the line speed and negotiating the operation duplex mode with the link partner automatically.
The GS748TPS is a 48-Ports 10/100/1000M + 4 SFP Combo ports Smart switch. Every RJ45 port is capable of sensing the line speed and negotiating the operation duplex mode with the link partner automatically. Figure 3-2 illustrates the NETGEAR GS748TPS Smart Switch front panel. Figure 3-2 The front panel contains the following: •...
GS700TPS Smart Switch The back panel contains the following: • A 100-240VAC/50-60 Hz universal input RS-232 Console interface, which is a standard AC power receptacle for accommodating the supplied power cord. • Two 19 pin Gbps HX stacking ports. LED Designations This section provides an explanation for the following LED types: •...
GS700TPS Smart Switch Port LEDs The following table describes the port LED designations. Table 3-1. Port LEDs Port Designation 24/48-10/100/1000 Ports Link/ACT LED • Off - No 10/100/1000Mbps link is established on - One LED/Port the port. • Solid Green - A valid 1000Mbps link is established on the port.
GS700TPS Smart Switch Table 3-2. System LEDs Designation Power LED • Off - Power is disconnected. • Solid Green - Power is supplied to the switch and is operating normally. FAN LED • Off - FAN is operating normally. • Solid Yellow - FAN has failed. MAX POE LED •...
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.
GS700TPS Smart Switch Factory Defaults Button The Smart Switch has a Factory default button to enable clearing the current configuration and returning the device back to the factory settings. This removes all settings, including the password, VLAN settings and port configurations. If the switches are in a stack, the stacking settings are cleared by the Factory Defaults Button.

GS700TPS Smart Switch Auto-negotiation 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. The gigabit port on the Gigabit module negotiates speed, duplex mode, and flow control, provided that the attached device supports auto-negotiation.
