GS700TR Series Hardware Installation Guide viii About This Manual v1.
Chapter 1 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.
GS700TR Series Hardware Installation Guide 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.
GS700TR Series Hardware Installation Guide • Auto Uplink™ on all ports to make the right connection. • Automatic address learning function to build the packet-forwarding information table. The table contains up to 4K Media Access Control (MAC) addresses. • Full- and Half-duplex functions for all 10/100/1000 Mbps ports. • Store-and-Forward transmission to remove bad packets from the network. • Full-duplex IEEE 802.3x pause frame flow control.
GS700TR Series Hardware Installation Guide • Rubber footpads for tabletop installation • Power cord • Rack-mount kit for installing the switch in a 19-inch rack • Installation guide • Smart Switch Resource CD with Smart Wizard Discovery and User’s manual • Warranty/Support Information Card If any item is missing or damaged, contact the place of purchase immediately. 1-4 Introduction v1.

GS700TR Series Hardware Installation Guide • System LEDs Figure 2-2 illustrates the NETGEAR GS724TR Smart Switch back panel: RS-232 Power Connector Figure 2-2 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. GS748TR Front and Back Panel Configuration The GS748TR is a 48-Port 10/100/1000M Smart Static Routing switch + 4 SFP Combo port switch.
GS700TR Series Hardware Installation Guide • System LEDs Figure 2-4 illustrates the NETGEAR GS748TR Smart Switch back panel: RS-232 Power Connector 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. LED Designations Port LEDs The following table describes the port LED designations. Table 2-1.
GS700TR Series Hardware Installation Guide Table 2-1. Port LEDs (continued) Port LED Designation 2/4-SFP Ports - One LED/ Port SFP Link/ACT LED • Solid Green - A valid 1000Mbps SFP module link is established on the port. • Flashing Green - Packets transmission or reception is occurring on the port at 1000Mbps. • Solid Yellow - A valid 100Mbps SFP module link is established on the port. • Flashing Yellow - Packets transmission or reception is occurring on the port at 100Mbps.
GS700TR Series Hardware Installation Guide • Determines whether the link to the attached device requires a “normal” connection (such as when connecting the port to a PC) or an “uplink” connection (such as when connecting the port to a router, switch, or hub). • Configures the RJ-45 port to enable communications with the attached device, without requiring user intervention.

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. 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.

Chapter 4 Installation This chapter describes the installation procedures for your NETGEAR Smart Switch.
GS700TR Series Hardware Installation Guide Table 4-1. 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 . Ensure the AC outlet is not controlled by a wall switch, which can accidentally turn off power to the outlet and the switch.
GS700TR Series Hardware Installation Guide 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. • Check cable routing to make sure cables are not damaged or creating a safety hazard. • Ensure all equipment is mounted properly and securely. Installation 4-15 v1.
GS700TR Series 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 the attaching of devices using either straight-through or crossover cables. Figure 4-2 Connect each PC to an RJ-45 network port on the Switch front panel (Figure 4-2 ).
GS700TR Series Hardware Installation Guide Insert the SFP module into the SFP module bay. Press firmly to ensure the module seats into the connector. 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.
GS700TR Series Hardware Installation Guide Step 7: Managing the Switch using a Web Browser or the PC Utility 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.
Appendix A 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 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.
GS700TR Series Hardware Installation Guide 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.
GS700TR Series Hardware Installation Guide 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. Troubleshooting A-21 v1.
