1. Introduction 1

Congratulations on the purchase of your NETGEAR®ProSafeTM GS748T Gigabit Smart

Switch! Your GS748T switch is a state-of-the-art, high-performance, IEEE-compliant network

solution designed for users who require a large number of ports and want the power of

Gigabit connectivity to eliminate bottlenecks, boost performance, and increase productivity.

There are 48 twisted-paired ports with 4 SFP GBIC slots (two SFP slots are combo ports) on

the front panel of the switch which support non-stop 10/100/1000 networks. To simplify

installation, the switch is shipped ready for use out of the box.

The

GS748T Smart Switch Hardware Installation Guide

describes how to install and power

on the GS748T. The information in this manual is intended for readers with intermediate

computer and Internet skills.

This chapter serves as an introduction to the GS748T and provides the following information:

• Overview

• Features

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.
