GS728TS, GS728TPS, GS752TS, and GS752TPS Smart Switch Hardware Installation Guide Overview The NETGEAR GS728TS, GS728TPS, GS752TS, or GS752TPS Smart Switch provides either 24 (GS728TS and GS728TPS) or 48 (GS752TS and GS752TPS) twisted-pair ports that support nonstop 10/100/1000M networks. The switch also has six built-in Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) GBIC slots, 2 of which are combo ports, 2 of which are dedicated 1000M ports, and the last 2 ports can be used for 1000M uplink or 2.5 Gbps stacking. Using these Gigabit 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 10/100/1000M copper and 100M/1000M fiber connectivity • Connect up to six switches in a stack to create a high-port-capacity solution with a single point of administration The NETGEAR GS728TS, GS728TPS, GS752TS, or GS752TPS 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 Smart Control Center program, a utility that runs on a PC. The NETGEAR GS728TS, GS728TPS, GS752TS, or GS752TPS Smart Switch can be free standing, stacked with other switches, 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-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 Smart Switch: • Interfaces: • GS728TS/GS752TS • 24/48 x 10/100/1000 Mbps copper ports. • 2 x Combo ports to support 10/100/1000 Mbps copper ports or 1G/100M optical module. • 2 x SFP (slot) to support 1G optical module.

GS728TS, GS728TPS, GS752TS, and GS752TPS Smart Switch Hardware Installation Guide
Overview
The NETGEAR GS728TS, GS728TPS, GS752TS, or GS752TPS Smart Switch provides
either 24 (GS728TS and GS728TPS) or 48 (GS752TS and GS752TPS) twisted-pair ports
that support nonstop 10/100/1000M networks. The switch also has six built-in Small Form
Factor Pluggable (SFP) GBIC slots, 2 of which are combo ports, 2 of which are dedicated
1000M ports, and the last 2 ports can be used for 1000M uplink or 2.5 Gbps stacking.
Using these Gigabit 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 10/100/1000M copper and 100M/1000M fiber connectivity
•
Connect up to six switches in a stack to create a high-port-capacity solution with a single
point of administration
The NETGEAR GS728TS, GS728TPS, GS752TS, or GS752TPS 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 Smart
Control Center program, a utility that runs on a PC.
The NETGEAR GS728TS, GS728TPS, GS752TS, or GS752TPS Smart Switch can be free
standing, stacked with other switches, 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
