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.
GS700TS Hardware Installation Guide The GS700TS 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 Webbased Graphical User Interface (GUI), you can view the switch’s many features and use them in a simple and intuitive manner.
GS700TS 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. • Four 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.
GS700TS Hardware Installation Guide • The devices support full Netgear Smart Switch functionality and provide full compatibility with the following 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) – IEEE 802.3af (DTE Power via MDI) • Auto-sensing and auto-negotiating capabilities for all ports. • Auto Uplink™ on all ports to make the right connection.
GS700TS Hardware Installation Guide During the Stacking setup, the switches will auto-select one as the Stacking Master. All other devices are named as slave stack members, and assigned a unique Unit ID. One of the slave units is designated as the backup master. The backup master acts as a slave stack member, but can become a stack master in the event of failure of stack master. The master and backup master are assigned unit IDs of 1 and 2.
GS700TS Hardware Installation Guide Figure 1-2 Verify that the package contains the following: • NETGEAR Smart Switch • 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 SmartWizard Discovery and User’s manual • Warranty/Support Information Card If any item is missing or damaged, contact the place of purchase immediately. Introduction 1-18 v1.
Chapter 2 Installation This chapter describes the installation procedures for your NETGEAR Smart Switch.
GS700TS Hardware Installation Guide Table 2-1. Site Requirements 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.
GS700TS 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.
GS700TS 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).
GS700TS Hardware Installation Guide 2. Press firmly to ensure the module seats into the connector Figure 2-3 Step 6: Installing a Device The device can operate as part of a stack. The HX stacking ports on the back of the device are used for connecting the devices in a stack. There are two stacking topologies supported by the device, the Ring topology or Chain topology. 2-33 Installation v1.
GS700TS Hardware Installation Guide Figure 2-4 The device is “Plug and Play” in terms of stacking connection and configuration. Before powering up the device, connect the devices into the required stacking topology. The Stacking Master and slave designations are configured through automatic discovery. Manually changing the stacking configuration is through switch web page once the device has been booted and is operational. For more information on stacking see the NETGEAR Smart Switch User Guide.
GS700TS Hardware Installation Guide If the Power LED does light up, check that the power cable is plugged in correctly and that the power source is functioning correctly. If this does not resolve the problem, refer to Appendix A “Troubleshooting”. Step 8: 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.
Chapter 3 Physical Description This chapter describes the NETGEAR Smart Switch hardware features.
GS700TS Hardware Installation Guide Figure 3-2 illustrates the NETGEAR GS724TS 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. • Two 19 pin HX stacking ports for full-duplex stacking linking.
GS700TS Hardware Installation Guide Figure 3-2 illustrates the NETGEAR GS748TS 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. • Two 19 pin HX stacking ports for full-duplex stacking linking. LED Designations This section provides an explanation for the following LED types: • Port LEDs • System LEDs Physical Description 3-21 v1.
GS700TS Hardware Installation Guide Port LEDs The following table describes the port LED designations. Table 3-1. Port LEDs Port LED Designation 24/48-10/100/1000 Ports Link/ACT LED - One LED/Port • Off - No 10/100Mbps link is established on the port. • Solid Green - A valid 100Mbps link is established on the port. • Flashing Green - Packet transmission or reception is occurring on the port at 100Mbps. • Solid Yellow - A valid 10Mbps link is established on the port.
GS700TS Hardware Installation Guide Table 3-2. System LEDs (continued) LED Designation Stack Down LED Indicates the Down stacking port LED designations • Off - Indicates the Down stacking port link is down. • Solid Green - Indicates the Down stacking port link is up. • Flashing Green - Packet transmission or reception is occurring on the Down stacking port. Power LED • Off - Power is disconnected. • Solid Green - Power is supplied to the switch and is operating normally.
GS700TS Hardware Installation Guide • Configures the RJ-45 port to enable communications with the attached device, without requiring user intervention. In this way, the Auto Uplink technology compensates for setting uplink connections, while eliminating concern about whether to use crossover or straightthrough cables when attaching devices.
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 (continued) 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.
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-3 v1.
