• Port LEDs • System LEDs Figure 2-4 illustrates the NETGEAR GS748TP Smart Switch back panel: Figure 2-4 The back panel contains the following: • A 100-240VAC/50-60 Hz universal input, which is a standard AC power receptacle for accommodating the supplied power cord.
GS700TP Hardware Installation Guide LED Designations Port LEDs The following table describes the port LED designations. Table 2-1. Port LEDs Port 24/48-10/100/1000 Ports SPD/Link/ACT LED - One LED/Port PoE Mode 2/4-SFP Ports - One SFP Link/ACT LED LED/Port Designation • Solid Green - A valid 1000Mbps link is established on the port.
Device Hardware Interfaces RJ-45 Ports RJ-45ports are auto-sensing 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- or full-duplex) of the attached device. All ports support only unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable terminated with an 8-pin RJ-45 plug.
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.
Chapter 3 Applications Your NETGEAR Smart Switch is designed to provide flexibility in configuring your network connections. It can be used as a stand-alone device or with 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps hubs and switches. 3-11 v1.0, January 2007...
GS700TP Hardware Installation Guide Desktop Switching The NETGEAR Smart Switch can be used as a desktop switch to build a small network that enables users to have 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.
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 5: Installing an SFP GBIC module...
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.
5. Tighten the screws with a #2 Phillips screwdriver to secure the switch in the rack. Figure 4-1 Step 3: Checking the Installation Before applying power perform the following: • Inspect the equipment thoroughly. • Verify that all cables are installed correctly.
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 the attaching of devices using either straight-through or crossover cables.
Figure 4-3 Step 6: 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 an AC outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch, which can turn off power to the switch.
Step 7: Managing the Switch through a Web Browser or the PC Utility for Initial Configuration The NETGEAR Smart Switch 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.
This chapter provides information about troubleshooting the NETGEAR Smart Switch. Topics include the following: • “Troubleshooting Chart” • “Additional Troubleshooting Suggestions” Troubleshooting Chart The following table lists symptoms, causes, and solutions of possible problems. Table A-1. Troubleshooting Chart Symptom Cause Power LED is off.
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.
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.
