GS748T Smart Switch Hardware Installation Guide Overview The NETGEAR GS748T Gigabit Smart Switch provides 48 twisted-pair ports with four built-in Small Form Factor (SFP) GBIC slots that support nonstop 1000M fiber networks. 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 1000M fiber connectivity The NETGEAR GS748T Gigabit 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 GS748T Gigabit 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-duplex or full-duplex mode. The maximum segment length is 328 feet (100 meters) over Category 5 Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP) cable.
