LED Descriptions

The front panel of the NETGEAR Model GSM7224 Managed Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet Switch has LEDs
that provide a quick and accurate display of port speed, activity, and link state. The Gigabit Ethernet SFP

Console Port

Your NETGEAR Model GSM7224 Managed Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet 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. The terminal, computer, or workstation connects to the
console port using the null-modem cable supplied with your switch.
The console port is configured to use the following settings:
•
Baud rate: 9,600 bps
•
Data bits: 8
•
Parity: none
•
Stop bit: 1
•
Flow control: none
These settings appear below the connector on the switch front panel.
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.
For more information about console-port connections, see
Switch. For more information about managing the switch, see the User Guide located on the CD-ROM.
