8-Port, 12-Port, and 16-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Pro Switch 100M/1G/10G RJ-45 Ports All copper RJ-45 ports support AutoSensing. When you insert a cable into an RJ-45 port, the switch automatically ascertains the maximum speed (100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, or 10 Gbps) and duplex mode (half-duplex or full-duplex) of the attached device. All ports support a Category 5e (Cat 5e) unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable or higher rated Ethernet cable terminated with an 8-pin RJ-45 connector.
8-Port, 12-Port, and 16-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Pro Switch Reset Button The switch provides a Reset button on the front panel so that you can reboot the switch. Save the configuration before you press the Reset button. To reboot the switch using the Reset button: 1. Insert a device such as a straightened paper clip into the opening. 2. Press the recessed Reset button for about three seconds. The switch reboots.
Installation 3 This chapter describes the installation procedures for the switch.
8-Port, 12-Port, and 16-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Pro Switch Step 1: Prepare the Site Before you install the switch, make sure that the operating environment meets the site requirements that are listed in the following table. Table 4. Site requirements Characteristics Requirements Mounting Desktop installations. Provide a flat table or shelf surface. Rack-mount installations. Use a 19-inch (48.3-centimeter) EIA standard equipment rack that is grounded and physically secure.
8-Port, 12-Port, and 16-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Pro Switch • When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, leave it in the antistatic package until you are ready to install it. Just before unwrapping the antistatic package, discharge static electricity from your body. • Before moving a sensitive component, place it in an antistatic container or package. • Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area.
8-Port, 12-Port, and 16-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Pro Switch Step 4: Install the Switch You can install the switch in a standard 19-inch (48.26-centimeter) network equipment rack or on a flat surface. Install the Switch on a Flat Surface The switch ships with four self-adhesive rubber footpads. To install the switch on a flat surface: 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 and vibrations.
8-Port, 12-Port, and 16-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Pro Switch Optional Step 5: Install an SFP Transceiver Module The following optional procedure describes how to install an optional SFP transceiver module into one of the SFP ports of the switch. Note Contact your NETGEAR sales office to purchase these modules. If you do not want to install an SFP module, skip this procedure. To install an SFP transceiver module: 1. Insert the transceiver into the SFP port. 2.
8-Port, 12-Port, and 16-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Pro Switch Step 6: Connect Devices to the Switch The following procedure describes how to connect devices to the switch’s RJ-45 ports. The switch supports Auto Uplink technology, which allows you to attach devices using either straight-through or crossover cables. Use a Category 5 (Cat 5), Cat 5e, or Cat 6 cable that is terminated with an RJ-45 connector.
8-Port, 12-Port, and 16-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Pro Switch 3. Check cable routing to make sure that cables are not damaged or creating a safety hazard. 4. Make sure that all equipment is mounted properly and securely. Step 8: Apply Power and Check the LEDs The switch does not provide an on/off power switch. The power cord connection controls the power. 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.
Applications 4 The switch is designed to provide flexibility in configuring network connections. The switch can be used as your only network traffic-distribution device or with 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, and 10 Gbps hubs, routers, and switches.
8-Port, 12-Port, and 16-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Pro Switch Desktop Switching You can use the switch as a desktop switch to build a small network that provides up to 10 Gbps access to a file server. With 1G and 10G connections, the switch always functions in full-duplex mode. Any switch port that is connected to a computer or file server can provide up to 20 Gbps bidirectional throughput.
8-Port, 12-Port, and 16-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Pro Switch High-Speed Network Storage You can use the switches to provide high-speed connections and redundancy between ReadyNAS storage platforms and virtual machines or servers. Figure 9.
