Chapter 1 Introduction 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.
GS700TP Hardware Installation Guide 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 SmartWizard Discovery program, a utility that runs on a PC. The GS700TP Smart Switch can be free-standing, or rack mounted in a wiring closet or equipment room.
GS700TP Hardware Installation Guide Figure 1-1 Switch 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. • 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 four 10/100/1000M auto-sensing Giga switching ports on each device.

Chapter 2 Installation This chapter describes the installation procedures for your NETGEAR Smart Switch.
GS700TP Hardware Installation Guide Table 2-1. Site Requirements (continued) Characteristics Requirements Power source Provide a power source within 6 feet (1.8 meters) of the installation location. Power specifications for the switch are shown in Appendix A Appendix A “Troubleshooting”. Ensure the AC outlet is not controlled by a wall switch, which can accidentally turn off power to the outlet and the switch.
GS700TP Hardware Installation Guide 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: • Inspect the equipment thoroughly. • Verify that all cables are installed correctly.
GS700TP Hardware Installation Guide 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.. Figure 2-2 Connect each PC to an RJ-45 network port on the Switch front panel (Figure 2-2).
GS700TP Hardware Installation Guide To install an SFP GBIC module: 1. Insert the SFP module into the SFP module bay. 2. Press firmly to ensure the module seats into the connector Figure 2-3 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.
GS700TP Hardware Installation Guide 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. You can use the ports without using the management software.
Chapter 3 Physical Description This chapter describes the NETGEAR Smart Switch hardware features. The topics include: • GS724TP Front and Back Panels Configuration • GS748TP Front and Back Panels Configuration • LED Designations • Device Hardware Interfaces Front and Back Panel Configuration GS724TP Front and Back Panels Configuration The GS724TP is a 24-Ports 10/100/1000M + 2 SFP Combo ports Smart PoE switch .
GS700TP Hardware Installation Guide • System LEDs Figure 3-2 illustrates the NETGEAR GS724TP Smart Switch back panel: Figure 3-2 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. GS748TP Front and Back Panels Configuration The GS748TP is a 48-Port 10/100/1000M Smart PoE switch + 4 SFP Combo port switch.
GS700TP Hardware Installation Guide Figure 3-4 illustrates the NETGEAR GS724TP Smart Switch back panel: Figure 3-4 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. LED Designations This section provides an explanation for the following LED types: • Port LEDs • System LEDs Port LEDs The following table describes the port LED designations. Table 3-1.
GS700TP Hardware Installation Guide Table 3-1. Port LEDs (continued) Port 2/4-SFP Ports - One LED/Port LED Designation PoE Mode • Off - No PoE-powered device (PD) connected. • Solid Green - The PoE powered device (PD) is connected and the port is supplying power successfully. • Solid Yellow - Indicates one of the following failures resulted in stopping power to that port: •Short circuit on PoE power circuit. •PoE power demand exceeds power available. •PoE current exceeds PD’s Classification.
GS700TP Hardware Installation Guide Table 3-2. System LEDs (continued) LED Designation FAN LED • Off - FAN is operating normally. • Solid Yellow - FAN has failed. MAX POE LED • Off - There is at least 7W of PoE power available for another device. • Solid Yellow - Indicates that less than 7W of PoE power is available. • Flashing Yellow - Indicates that the PoE MAX LED was active in the previous two minutes.
GS700TP Hardware Installation Guide SFP GBIC Module 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. For example, both copper and fiber port cannot be used at the same time.
Appendix A Troubleshooting This chapter provides information about troubleshooting the NETGEAR Smart Switch. The 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 Solution Power LED is off. No power is received. Check the power cord connections for the switch at the switch and the connected device.
Table A-1. Troubleshooting Chart Symptom Cause Solution A segment or device is not recognized as part of the network. One or more devices are not properly connected, or cabling does not meet Ethernet guidelines. Verify that the cabling is correct. Ensure all connectors are securely positioned in the required ports. Equipment may have been accidentally disconnected. ACT LED is flashing continuously on all connected ports and the network is disabled. A network loop (redundant path) has been created.
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. A-3 Troubleshooting v1.
