CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of t he NETGEAR ProSafe FS726T Smart Switch! Your NETGE AR Switch is a state- of- the-ar t, 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 productivit y. There are two built-in RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet port s with one built-in Small Form-Factor
Pluggable (SFP) GBIC slot on t he front panel of the switch that s upport non-stop 10/100/1000 networks. To si mplify installation , the switch is
shipped ready for use out of the box.
This chapter serves as t he i nt roduction for using your NETGEAR ProSafe FS726T Smart Switch and provides the following inform at i on:
• Overview
• Switch Features
• Package contents
Overview
Your NETGEA R ProSafe FS726T Smart Switch provid es two built-in RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet ports with one built-in Sm al l Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP)
GBIC slot that support non-bl ocking 10/100/1000 networks. Using t hese Gigabit ports, you can creat e hi gh-speed connections to a server or
network backbone. For example, you can:
• Connect switches to each ot her with hi gh-speed links
• Link to high-speed servers
• Provide 10/100/1000 copper and fiber connec tivity
Your NETGEA R ProSafe FS726T Smart Switch also provides the benefit of adm i ni strative management with a c omplete package of features for the
observation, configuration, and control of your network. With a Web-bas ed Graphi cal User Interface (GUI), the switch’s many capabilities can be
viewed and used in a simple and intuiti ve manner. The switch’s management features include configuration for port and switch i nformation, VLAN
for traffic control , port trunking for increased bandwidth, and Cl ass of Service (CoS) for traffic prioritization. These features and more will allow you
to better understand and control your network. Initial discovery of your switch on your network requires the Smart Wizard Discovery program, a
utility that runs on a PC.
Your NETGEA R ProSafe FS726T 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 net working. It includes two built-in RJ -45 Gi gabi t Ethernet ports with one SFP GB I C slot. All ports can
automatically negotiate to the highes t speed. This capability makes the switch ideal for environments that have a mix of Et hern et , Fast Ethernet, or
Gigabit Ethernet devices. In addition, all RJ-45 ports operate in half- or full-duplex mode, increasing the maximum bandwidth of each connection up
to either 20 Mbps, 200 Mbps, or 2000 Mbps respectively. The maximum segment length is 328 feet (100 meters) over Category 5 unshielded
twisted-pair (UTP) cable, but much longer for fiber connections using SFP GBIC modul es.
