CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of t he NE TGEAR GS724T Gigabit Smart S witch! Your NETGEAR Switch is a state-of-t he-art, 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 24 RJ-45 ports with two built-in Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) GBIC
slots on the front panel of the switch that support non-st op 10/100/1000 networks. To simpli fy installation, the s witch is shipped ready for use out of
the box.
This chapter serves as the i ntroduction for using your NETGEAR GS 724T Gi gabi t Smart Switch and provides the f ol l owing inf ormation:
• Overview
• Switch Features
• Package contents
Overview
Your NETGEAR GS724T Gigabit Smart Switch provides 24 twisted-paired ports with two built-in Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) GBIC slots
that support non-blocking 10/ 100/1000 networks. Using this Gigabit switch, you can create high-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 NETGEAR GS724T Gigabit Smart Switch also provides the benefit of administrative management with a complete 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 NETGEAR GS724T Gigabit 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 24 auto-sens i ng 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports with two SFP GB I C slots. 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.
