GS700TR Series Hardware Installation Guide 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 Wizard Discovery program, a utility that runs on a PC. The GS700TR Series 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. Features The following list identifies the key features of the NETGEAR Smart Switch. • 24/48 RJ-45 10/100/1000M auto sensing Giga switching ports. • 2/4 Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) GBIC slots which function as combo ports. Combo ports are single ports with two physical connections, SFP fiber and RJ-45 copper. The RJ-45 copper ports corresponding to the Combo ports are the last four 10/100/1000M auto sensing Giga switching ports on each device. If both devices are plugged in, the fiber connection is active, with fiber port taking priority if both are connected. The following SFP types are supported: • 1000Base-SX • 1000Base-LX • 100Base-FX • The devices support full Netgear Smart Switch functionality. • The devices provide full compatibility with IEEE standards: • IEEE 802.3i, (10BASE-T) • IEEE 802.3u (100BASE-TX, 100BASE-FX) • IEEE 802.3x (Full-duplex flow control) • IEEE 802.3ab (1000BASE-T) • IEEE 802.3z (1000BASE-X) • Auto-sensing and auto-negotiating capabilities for all ports. 1-2 Introduction v1.0, December 2007
