Hardware Installation Guide for the Prosafe Stackable Smart Switch FS700TS Series 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 or 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.

Chapter 3 Installation This chapter describes the installation procedures for your NETGEAR Smart Switch.
Hardware Installation Guide for the Prosafe Stackable Smart Switch FS700TS Series Table 3-1. 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 C. Ensure the AC outlet is not controlled by a wall switch, which can accidentally turn off power to the outlet and the switch.
Hardware Installation Guide for the Prosafe Stackable Smart Switch FS700TS Series 5. Tighten the screws with a #2 Phillips screwdriver to secure the switch in the rack. Figure 3-1 Step 3: Checking the Installation Before applying power check the following: 1. Inspect the equipment thoroughly. 2. Verify that all cables are installed correctly. 3. Check cable routing to make sure cables are not damaged or creating a safety hazard. 4. Ensure all equipment is mounted properly and securely.
Hardware Installation Guide for the Prosafe Stackable Smart Switch FS700TS Series 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. Connect each PC to an RJ-45 network port on the Switch front panel, as shown in the diagram below.
Hardware Installation Guide for the Prosafe Stackable Smart Switch FS700TS Series 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 an SFP GBIC module is not being installed at this time, skip this procedure. To install an SFP GBIC module: 1. Insert the SFP module into the SFP module bay. Figure 3-3 2.
Hardware Installation Guide for the Prosafe Stackable Smart Switch FS700TS Series There are two stacking topologies supported by the device, the Ring topology or Chain topology. Figure 3-4 The device is “Plug and Play” in terms of stacking configuration. Before powering up the device, connect the devices into the required stacking topology. Power up the devices. The stacking Master and slave designations are configured through automatic discovery.
Hardware Installation Guide for the Prosafe Stackable Smart Switch FS700TS Series 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 an AC outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch, which can turn off power to the switch. After selecting an appropriate outlet, use the following procedure to apply AC power. 1.

Chapter 4 Troubleshooting 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 4-1. 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.
Hardware Installation Guide for the Prosafe Stackable Smart Switch FS700TS Series Table 4-1. Troubleshooting Chart (continued) Symptom Cause Solution ACT LED is flashing continuously on all connected ports and the network is disabled. A network loop (redundant path) has been created. Break the loop by ensuring that there is only one path from any networked device to any other networked device. A unit is linked to a stack, but does not join the stack.
Hardware Installation Guide for the Prosafe Stackable Smart Switch FS700TS Series 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.
