Introduction

Congratulations on the purchase of the NETGEAR Smart Switch. The NETGEAR Smart Switch is

a state-of-the-art, high-performance, IEEE-compliant network solution designed for users who

require a large number of ports and want the power of Gigabit connectivity to eliminate

bottlenecks, boost performance, and increase productivity. To simplify installation, the switch is

shipped ready for use out of the box.

This chapter serves as an introduction to the GS700TR Series Smart Switch and provides the

following information:

•Overview

•Features

•Package Contents

Overview

This Installation Guide is for the following NETGEAR Smart Switches:

• GS724TR – This product offers support for 24 ports of 10/100/1000 and two Form-factor slots

which support 1000 (1000Base-SX/LX)/100M SFP.

• GS748TR – This product offers support for 48 ports of 10/100/1000 and four Form-factor

slots which support 1000 (1000Base-SX/LX)/100M SFP.

Using Gigabit ports, high-speed connections can be made to a server or network backbone. For

example:

• Linking to high-speed servers

• Providing 10/100/1000 copper and fiber connectivity

The GS700TR Series Smart Switch also provides the benefit of administrative management with a

complete package of features for the observation, configuration, and control of the network. With a

Web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI), the switch’s many capabilities can be viewed and used

in a simple and intuitive manner. The switch’s management features include configuration 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.

The GS700TR Series Smart Switch can be free-standing, or rack mounted in a wiring closet or

equipment room. It is IEEE-compliant and offers low latency for high-speed networking. All ports

can automatically negotiate to the highest speed. This capability makes the switch ideal for

environments that have a mix of Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, or Gigabit Ethernet devices. In addition,

all RJ-45 ports operate in half- or full-duplex mode. The maximum segment length is 328 feet (100

meters) over Category 5 Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP) cable, but much longer for fiber

connections using SFP GBIC modules.

Features

The following list identifies the key features of the NETGEAR Smart Switch.

• 24/48 RJ-45 10/100/1000M auto sensing Giga switching ports.

• 2/4 Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) GBIC slots which function as combo ports. Combo

ports are single ports with two physical connections, SFP fiber and RJ-45 copper. The RJ-45

copper ports corresponding to the Combo ports are the last four 10/100/1000M auto sensing

Giga switching ports on each device. If both devices are plugged in, the fiber connection is

active, with fiber port taking priority if both are connected. The following SFP types are

supported:

• 1000Base-SX

• 1000Base-LX

• 100Base-FX

• The devices support full Netgear Smart Switch functionality.

• The devices provide full compatibility with IEEE standards:

• IEEE 802.3i, (10BASE-T)

• IEEE 802.3u (100BASE-TX, 100BASE-FX)

• IEEE 802.3x (Full-duplex flow control)

• IEEE 802.3ab (1000BASE-T)

• IEEE 802.3z (1000BASE-X)

• Auto-sensing and auto-negotiating capabilities for all ports.
