CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of a NETGEAR Model FSM7326P Managed Power over Ethernet
Switch! Your NETGEAR Switch is a state-of-the-art, high-performance, IEEE-compliant network solution
designed for users who want ease of use along with powerful management features you can use to
eliminate bottlenecks, boost performance, and increase productivity.

This Installation Guide will assist you in getting your switch up and running. For a detailed description of
the management features in this switch, refer to the User Guide, located on your Resource CD for
Managed Switches that came with your switch.

This chapter serves as the introduction for using your NETGEAR FSM7326P Switch and provides the
following information:

• Overview

• Switch Features

• Package contents

Overview

Your NETGEAR Model FSM7326P Managed Power over Ethernet Switch provides the benefit of
management with a complete package of features for the observation, configuration, and control of your
network. With a Web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI), the switch’s many capabilities can be viewed
and used in a simple and intuitive manner. For those who prefer a more traditional interface, there is
Command Line Interface (CLI) available through the console port on the front, or a telnet connection via the
network. The switch’s management features include SNMP and RMON for port and switch information,
VLAN for traffic control, port trunking for increased bandwidth, and Class of Service (CoS) for traffic
prioritization. These features and more will allow you to better understand and control your network.

Your NETGEAR Model FSM7326P Managed Power over Ethernet Switch also provides twenty-four 10/100
twisted pair Fast Ethernet ports and 2 miniGBIC/twisted pair combo Gigabit Ethernet ports on the front
panel. Using these Gigabit ports, you can create high-speed connections to a server or network backbone.
In addition, your NETGEAR Model FSM7326P Managed Power over Ethernet Switch is IEEE802.3af
(Power over Ethernet) compliant and is capable of providing up to 15 watts of power to IEEE802.3af­compliant powered devices, thus freeing you from having to use a separate power adapter to power those
devices.

For example, you can connect:

• Switches to each other with high-speed links

• High-speed servers

• Fiber and copper Gigabit Ethernet networks

• IEEE802.3af compliant powered devices, such as wireless access points, IP phones, IP cameras, etc.

Your NETGEAR Model FSM7326P Managed Power over Ethernet 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
networking. It includes 24 auto-sensing 10/100 ports. The 10/100 ports are shielded RJ-45 ports that
automatically negotiate to the highest speed. In addition, all 10/100 Mbps ports operate in half- or full­duplex mode, increasing the maximum bandwidth of each connection up to 20 Mbps or 200 Mbps
respectively. Using Auto Uplink™ technology, each RJ-45 port automatically detects the proper MDI or
MDI-X configuration to make the connection, eliminating the need for crossover cables. The maximum

segment length is 328 feet (100 meters) over Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable.
