GS716T, GS724T and GS748T Gigabit Smart Switch
Overview
This Installation Guide is for the following NETGEAR Smart Switches:
• GS716Tv3 – This product offers support for 16 ports of 10/100/1000 Mbps and two
Form-factor slots, which support 1000 (1000BASE-SX/LX) Mbps Small Form-factor
Pluggable (SFP).
• GS724Tv4 – This product offers support for 24 ports of 10/100/1000 and two Form-factor
slots, which support 1000 (1000BASE-SX/LX) Mbps SFP.
• GS748Tv5 – This product provides 48 twisted-pair ports with four built-in Small Form
Factor (SFP) GBIC slots (two SFP slots are combo ports) that support nonstop 1000M
fiber networks.
Using Gigabit ports, high-speed connections can be made to a server or network backbone.
For example:
• Connect switches to each other with high-speed links
• Linking to high-speed servers
• Providing 10/100/1000 Mbps copper and fiber connectivity
These Smart Switches also provide 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, IPv6 Management support to enable IPv6 operation over the network
port, IPv6 QoS, IPv6 ACL and Class of Service (CoS) for traffic prioritization. These features
provide better understanding and control of the network. Initial discovery of these switches on
the network requires the Smart Control Center program, a utility that runs on a computer.
These Smart Switches 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, but
much longer for fiber connections using SFP GBIC modules.
