1. Introduction

Congratulations on the purchase of your NETGEAR® ProSafeTM GS110T Smart Switch. The GS110T Smart Switch is a supplement to the Gigabit Advanced Smart Switch family. Available as a desktop or wall-mountable switch, the GS110T Smart Switch is not intended to be rack-mountable.The GS110T is non-PoE supportable low-port switch with two fiber uplinks included.

This chapter serves as an introduction to the GS110T Smart Switch and provides the following information:

Overview

This Installation Guide is for the NETGEAR GS110T Smart Switch. This product offers support for eight 10/100/1000 Mbps autosensing and two 1000M SFP Gigabit Ethernet switching ports.

Using Gigabit ports, high-speed connections can be made to a server or network backbone. For example:

• Linking to high-speed servers

• Providing 10/100/1000 Mbps copper connectivity

The GS110T Smart Switch also provides the benefit of administrative management with a complete package of features for the observation, configuration, and control of the 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. The switch’s management features include configuration for port and switch information, VLAN for traffic control, port trunking for increased bandwidth, and Class of Service (CoS) for traffic prioritization. These features provide better understanding and control of the network. Initial discovery of the switch on the network requires the Netgear Smart Control Center program, a utility that runs on a PC.

The GS110T Smart Switch is a free-standing switch. It is IEEE-compliant and offers low latency for high-speed networking. All ports can automatically negotiate to the highest speed. This capability makes the switch ideal for environments that have a mix of Ethernet, Fast

Ethernet, or Gigabit Ethernet devices. In addition, all RJ-45 ports operate in half-duplex or full-duplex mode. The maximum segment length is 328 feet (100 meters) over Category 5 Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP) cable.

Features

The following list identifies the key features of the GS110T Smart Switch:

• Eight RJ-45 10/100/1000 Mbps autosensing Gigabit Ethernet switching ports.

• Two 1000M SFP Gigabit Ethernet switching ports.

• Full NETGEAR Smart Switch functionality.

• Full compatibility with IEEE standards:

• IEEE 802.3 CSMA/CD

• IEEE 802.3i (10BASE-T)

• IEEE 802.3u (100BASE-TX)

• IEEE 802.3x (Full-duplex flow control)

• IEEE 802.3ab (1000BASE-T)

• IEEE 802.3z (1000BASE-x)

• Autosensing and auto-negotiating capabilities for all ports.

• Auto Uplink™ on all ports to make the right connection.

• Automatic address learning function to build the packet-forwarding information table. The

table contains up to 4K Media Access Control (MAC) addresses.

• Store-and-Forward transmission to remove bad packets from the network.

• Full-duplex IEEE 802.3x pause frame flow control.

• Active flow control to minimize packet loss and frame drops.

• Half-duplex backpressure control.

• Per port LEDs, power LED.

• Standard NTGR 1xx series chassis.

• External 12V/1A Power Adapter.
