Introduction
The NETGEAR Smart Switch is a state-of-the-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 productivity. To simplify
installation, the switch is shipped ready for use out of the box.
This chapter serves as an introduction to the GS700TP Smart Switch and provides the following
information:
• Overview
• Switch Features
• Package Contents
Overview
This Installation Guide is for the following NETGEAR Smart Switches:
• GS724TP - This product offers support for 24 ports of 10 /100/100 0 and two Form- factor slots
which support 1000 (1000Base-SX/LX)/100M SFP. This product supports the added feature of
Power over Ethernet (PoE).
• GS748TP - This product offers support for 48 ports of 10 /100/1000 and four Fo rm-factor slots
which support 1000 (1000Base-SX/LX)/100M SFP. This product supports the added feature of
Power over Ethernet (PoE).
You can make high-speed connections using the Gigabit ports. For example:
• Connecting to a network backbone
• Linking to high-speed servers
• Providing 10/100/1000 copper and fiber connectivity
GS700TP Smart Switch also provides the benefit of administrative management with a complete
The
package of features for the observation, configuration, and control of the network. With a Webbased Graphical User Interface (GUI), you can view the switch’s many features and use them 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 understandi ng and co ntro l of
the network. Initial discovery of the switch on the network requires the SmartWizard Discovery
program, a utility that runs on a PC.
The
GS700TP 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 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- or full-duplex mode. 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 modules.
The NETGEAR Smart Switch can be used as a desktop to build a small network that enables you
to have 1000 Mbps access to a file server. With full-duplex enabled, the switch port connected to
the server or PC can provide 2000 Mbps throughput.
