1. Introduction 1 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.
GS716T/GS724T Gigabit Smart Switch Overview This Installation Guide is for the following NETGEAR Smart Switches: • GS716T – This product offers support for 16 ports of 10/100/1000 Mbps and two Form-factor slots, which support 1000 (1000BASE-SX/LX)/100 Mbps Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP). • GS724T – This product offers support for 24 ports of 10/100/1000 and two Form-factor slots, which support 1000 (1000BASE-SX/LX)/100 Mbps SFP.
GS716T/GS724T Gigabit Smart Switch Features The following list identifies the key features of the NETGEAR Smart Switch. • 16/24 RJ-45 10/100/1000 Mbps auto sensing Giga switching ports. • 2 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 10/100/1000 Mbps auto sensing Giga switching ports on each device.

GS716T/GS724T Gigabit Smart Switch LED Designations Port LEDs The following table describes the port LED designations. Table 1. Port LEDs Port LED Designation 16/24-10/100/1000 Mbps Ports - 3 LEDs per port LINK/ACT SPD • • • • • • FDX • 2 SFP Ports - 1 LED per port SFP LINK/ACT • • • • • 12 Solid Green - A valid 1000 Mbps link is established on the port. Flashing Green - Packet transmission or reception is occurring on the port at 1000 Mbps.
GS716T/GS724T Gigabit Smart Switch System LEDs The following table describes the system LED designations. Table 2. System LEDs LED Designation Power LED • • Solid Green - Power is supplied to the switch and the switch is operating normally. Off - Power is disconnected.
GS716T/GS724T Gigabit Smart Switch Device Hardware Interfaces RJ-45 Ports RJ-45 ports are auto-sensing ports. When inserting a cable into an RJ-45 port, the switch automatically ascertains the maximum speed (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) and duplex mode (half-duplex or full-duplex) of the attached device. All ports support only unshielded or shielded twisted-pair (UTP or STP) cable terminated with an 8-pin RJ-45 plug. To simplify the procedure for attaching devices, all RJ-45 ports support Auto Uplink.
3. Applications 3 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.
GS716T/GS724T Gigabit Smart Switch 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 computer can provide 2000 Mbps throughput.
4. Installation This chapter describes the installation procedures for your NETGEAR Smart Switch.
GS716T/GS724T Gigabit Smart Switch Step 1: Prepare the Site Before you install the switch, ensure the operating environment meets the operating environment requirements in the following table. Table 3. Site Requirements Characteristics Requirements Mounting • • Access Locate the switch in a position that allows access to the front panel RJ-45 ports, view the front panel LEDs, and access power connector. Power source Provide a power source within 6 feet (1.8 meters) of the installation location.
GS716T/GS724T Gigabit Smart Switch Step 2: Install the Switch The NETGEAR Smart Switch can be installed on a flat surface or in a standard 19-inch rack. Install the Switch on a Flat Surface The switch ships with four self-adhesive rubber footpads. Stick one rubber footpad on each of the four concave spaces on the bottom of the switch. The rubber footpads cushion the switch against shock/vibrations.
GS716T/GS724T Gigabit Smart Switch Step 3: Check 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.
GS716T/GS724T Gigabit Smart Switch Step 4: Connect Devices to the Switch The following procedure describes how to connect computers 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 8. Connecting Devices to the Switch Connect each computer to an RJ-45 network port on the Switch front panel (Figure 8).
GS716T/GS724T Gigabit Smart Switch Step 5: Install 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: Insert the SFP module into the SFP module bay. Press firmly to ensure the module seats into the connector. Figure 9.
GS716T/GS724T Gigabit Smart Switch Step 6: Apply 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.
GS716T/GS724T Gigabit Smart Switch Step 7: Manage the Switch using a Web Browser or the Smart Control Center 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.
