FS728TP Hardware Installation Guide
Features
The following list identifies the key features of the FS728TP:
• 24-port Fast Ethernet Smart Switch with 24 PoE ports with 2 combo ports and 2 Gigabit
copper uplinks.
• Four 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet switching ports.
• Two 1000M SFP Gigabit Ethernet switching ports.
• Full NETGEAR Smart Switch functionality.
• Full compatibility with IEEE standards:
• IEEE 802.3 CSMA/CD
• IEEE 802.3i (10BASE-T)
• IEEE 802.3u (100BASE-TX)
• IEEE 802.3x (Full-duplex flow control)
• IEEE 802.3ab (1000BASE-T)
• IEEE 802.3z (1000BASE-x)
