4. Installation 4 This chapter describes the installation procedures for your GS728TS, GS728TPS, GS752TS, and GS752TPS Smart Switch.
GS728TS, GS728TPS, GS752TS, and GS752TPS Smart Switch Hardware Installation Guide Step 1: Preparing the Site Before you install the switch, ensure the operating environment meets the site requirements in the following table. Characteristics Requirements Mounting • Desktop installations - Provide a flat table or shelf surface. • Rackmount installations - Use a 19-inch (48.3-centimeter) EIA standard equipment rack that is grounded and physically secure.
GS728TS, GS728TPS, GS752TS, and GS752TPS Smart Switch Hardware Installation Guide 4. Align the mounting holes in the brackets with the holes in the rack, and insert two pan-head screws with nylon washers through each bracket and into the rack. 5. Tighten the screws with a #2 Phillips screwdriver to secure mounting brackets to the rack.

Installing and SFP Transceiver Module (GS752TPS Shown) Step 6: Installing Device as Stand-alone or Stack Master A master-backup unit runs as a slave unit as described above. In addition, it continuously monitors the existence and operation of the stack master. If the master unit fails, the master-backup unit will assume the stack-master role (“Switchover”).
GS728TS, GS728TPS, GS752TS, and GS752TPS Smart Switch Hardware Installation Guide Figure 15. Stacking Topologies The device is “Plug and Play” in terms of stacking configuration. Before powering up the device, connect the devices into the required stacking topology. Then power up the devices. By default, the switch is configured to allow the master and slave designations to be determined through automatic discovery.
GS728TS, GS728TPS, GS752TS, and GS752TPS Smart Switch Hardware Installation Guide Step 8: Managing the Switch using a Web Browser or the PC Utility The GS728TS, GS728TPS, GS752TS, and GS752TPS 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.
A. 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. Symptom Cause Solution Power LED is off. No power is received. Check the power cord connections and the connected device. Ensure all cables used are correct and comply with Ethernet specifications.
GS728TS, GS728TPS, GS752TS, and GS752TPS Smart Switch Hardware Installation Guide 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. After you connect to the switch management interface, you can configure the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) to prevent network loops.
