Overview
The NETGEAR XS728T Smart Managed Switch provides 24 twisted-pair ports that support
nonstop 1000M/10G networks. The switch also provides four built-in enhanced small form
factor pluggable (SFP+) GBIC slots that support 1000M and 10G optical modules.
Using these 10G slots, you can create high-speed connections to a server or network
backbone. For example, you can:
• Connect switches to each other with high-speed links
• Link to high-speed servers
• Provide 1000M/10G copper and fiber connectivity
The smart managed switch also provides the benefit of administrative management with a
complete package of features for monitoring, configuring, and controlling the network. Using
the simple and intuitive web-based graphical user interface (GUI) or the Windows
computer–based Smart Control Center program, you can view and use the switch’s many
capabilities. The switch’s management features include configuration of port and switch
information, VLAN for traffic control, port trunking for increased bandwidth, and Class of
Service (CoS) for prioritizing traffic. These features provide better understanding and control
of the network. Initial discovery of the switch on the network requires the Smart Control
Center program, a utility that runs on a Windows computer.
The smart managed switch can be freestanding 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, which makes the switch ideal for
environments with a mix of Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet devices. You can use
Category 5e (CAT 5e) or better Ethernet cable (CAT 6, CAT 6a, or CAT 7) to make 10G
connections. NETGEAR recommends that you use CAT 6a or CAT 7 cables if the cable
distance is greater than 148 feet (45 meters).

Page 12
XS728T Smart Managed Switch
RJ-45 Ports
RJ-45 ports are AutoSensing ports. When you insert a cable into an RJ-45 port, the switch
automatically determines the maximum speed (1000 Mbps or 10
Gbps) and duplex mode
(half duplex or full duplex) of the attached device. All ports support only an unshielded
twisted-pair (UTP) cable terminated with an 8-pin RJ-45 plug.
To simplify the procedure for attaching devices, all RJ-45 ports support Auto Uplink. This
technology allows attaching devices to the RJ-45 ports with either straight-through or
crossover cables. When you insert a cable into the switch’s RJ-45 port, the switch
automatically does the following:
• Senses whether the cable is a straight-through or crossover cable.
• Determines whether the link to the attached device requires a “normal” connection (such
as when you are connecting the port to a computer) or an uplink connection (such as
when you are connecting the port to a router, switch, or hub).
• Automatically configures the RJ-45 port to enable communications with the attached
device. The Auto Uplink technology compensates for setting uplink connections while
eliminating concerns about whether to use crossover or straight-through cables when you
attach devices.
SFP+ Ports
To enable you to use fiber connections on your network, four dedicated SFP+ ports (25
though 28) accommodate standard 1000M and 10G SFP+ transceiver modules, which are
sold separately.
Reset Button
The Smart Managed Switch provides a Reset button on the front panel to allow you to
manually reboot the switch. This action is equivalent to powering the unit off and back on.
The last saved configuration is loaded into the switch as it resets. To use the Reset button,
insert a device such as a straightened paper clip into the opening to press the recessed
button. The front panel LEDs turn off and light again as the switch performs its power-on
self-test (POST).
Factory Defaults Button
The Smart Managed Switch provides a Factory Defaults button on the front panel so that
you can remove the current configuration and return the device to its factory settings. When
you press the Factory Defaults button, all settings including the password, VLAN settings,
and port configurations are removed. To use the Factory Defaults button, insert a device
such as a straightened paper clip into the opening to press and hold the recessed button for
more than two seconds.

and the software driver was installed.
Configuration
If problems occur after you alter the network configuration, restore the original connections
and determine the problem by implementing the new changes, one step at a time. Ensure

that cable distances, repeater limits, and other physical aspects of the installation do not
exceed the Ethernet limitations.
Switch Integrity
If necessary, verify the integrity of the switch by resetting the switch. To reset the switch,
remove the AC power from the switch and then reapply AC power. If the problem continues,
contact NETGEAR technical support. In North America, call 1-888-NETGEAR. If you are
outside North America, refer to the support information card included with your product.
Autonegotiation
The RJ-45 ports negotiate the correct duplex mode, speed, and flow control if the device at
the other end of the link supports autonegotiation. If the device does not support
autonegotiation, the switch determines only the speed correctly, and the duplex mode
defaults to half-duplex.
