Initial discovery of the switch on the network requires the SmartWizard Discovery program, a utility that runs on a PC. The FS728TP 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. Figure 1-1 Introduction v1.0, November 2007 1-14
