ProSAFE Fast Ethernet PoE Smart Switch FS728TLP RJ-45 Ports RJ-45 ports are autosensing ports. When you insert a cable into an RJ-45 port, the switch automatically ascertains the maximum speed (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) and duplex mode (half- or full-duplex) of the attached device. All ports support a twisted-pair cable that is terminated with an 8-pin RJ-45 plug. To simplify the procedure for attaching devices, all RJ-45 ports support Auto MDI/MIDX. This technology enables you to attach 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 configures the RJ-45 port to enable communications with the attached device. With Auto MDI/MIDX technology, you do not need to configure uplink connections, and you do not need to think about whether to use crossover or straight-through cables when you attach a device. SFP GBIC Modules Each of the two SFP GBIC slots accommodates a standard SFP GBIC module to enable fiber connections on the network. The SFP GBIC slots are combo ports, each of which shares a connection with an RJ-45 combo port: • Slot 27F shares a connection with RJ-45 port 27T. • Slot 28F shares a connection with RJ-45 port 28T. Only one type of connection (copper or fiber) on a combo port can be active. If the two RJ-45 copper combo ports and the two SFP fiber combo ports have devices connected, the devices that were connected first take precedence. In other words, the combo ports function on a first-come, first-served basis. The switch supports NETGEAR SFP GBIC modules such as the AGM731F and AGM732F. Factory Defaults Button and Reset Button The switch has a Factory Defaults button to clear the configuration and return the switch to the factory settings. Pressing the button for at least two seconds causes the switch to reboot with factory settings. All custom settings are removed, including the password, VLAN settings, and port configurations. In addition, the switch has a Reset button. Pressing this button reboots the switch but does not change its configuration. Introduction and Hardware Description 12

ProSAFE Fast Ethernet PoE Smart Switch FS728TLP
RJ-45 Ports
RJ-45 ports are autosensing ports. When you insert a cable into an RJ-45 port, the switch
automatically ascertains the maximum speed (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) and duplex mode
(half- or full-duplex) of the attached device. All ports support a twisted-pair cable that is
terminated with an 8-pin RJ-45 plug.
To simplify the procedure for attaching devices, all RJ-45 ports support Auto MDI/MIDX. This
technology enables you to attach 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 configures the RJ-45 port to enable communications with the attached device.
With Auto MDI/MIDX technology, you do not need to configure uplink connections, and you
do not need to think about whether to use crossover or straight-through cables when you
attach a device.
SFP GBIC Modules
Each of the two SFP GBIC slots accommodates a standard SFP GBIC module to enable fiber
connections on the network. The SFP GBIC slots are combo ports, each of which shares a
connection with an RJ-45 combo port:
•
Slot 27F shares a connection with RJ-45 port 27T.
•
Slot 28F shares a connection with RJ-45 port 28T.
Only one type of connection (copper or fiber) on a combo port can be active. If the two RJ-45
copper combo ports and the two SFP fiber combo ports have devices connected, the devices
that were connected first take precedence. In other words, the combo ports function on a
first-come, first-served basis.
The switch supports NETGEAR SFP GBIC modules such as the AGM731F and AGM732F.
Factory Defaults Button and Reset Button
The switch has a Factory Defaults button to clear the configuration and return the switch to
the factory settings. Pressing the button for at least two seconds causes the switch to reboot
with factory settings. All custom settings are removed, including the password, VLAN
settings, and port configurations.
In addition, the switch has a Reset button. Pressing this button reboots the switch but does
not change its configuration.
