GS748T Smart Switch Hardware Installation Guide
1-2 Introduction
1.1, September 2007
• Provide 10/100/1000 copper and fiber connectivity
Your GS748T Gigabit Smart Switch also provides the benefit of administrative management with
a complete package of features for the observation, configuration, and control of your 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. There is also an easy to use switch management utility
that runs on a PC. 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, and more, enable you better to understand and
control your network.
Your 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.
It includes 48 auto-sensing 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports with 4 SFP GBIC slots. 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, and Gigabit Ethernet devices. In addition,
all 10/100/1000 Mbps ports operate in half- or full-duplex mode, increasing the maximum
bandwidth of each connection to either 20 Mbps, 200 Mbps, or 2000 Mbps, respectively. The
maximum segment length is 328 feet (100 meters) over Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP)
cable.
