Hardware Installation Guide for the Prosafe Stackable Smart Switch FS700TS Series
2-4 Introduction
v1.0, December 2005
Other Features
The following list identifies the key features of the NETGEAR Smart Switch.
• 24/48 RJ-45 10/100M auto sensing Fast Ethernet switching ports.
• 2-Port 10/100/1000M auto sensing Gigabit Ethernet switching ports. These ports are reserved
for stacking units together, but can be configured as user ports.
• 2 Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) GBIC slots which function as combo ports. Combo ports
are single ports with two physical connections, SFP fiber and RJ-45 copper. The RJ-45 copper
ports corresponding to the Combo ports are the last 2 10/100/1000M auto sensing Fast
Ethernet switching ports on each device. If both devices are plugged in, the fiber connection is
active, with fiber port taking priority if both are connected.
• FS700TS devices support full Netgear Smart Switch function.
• FS700TS devices provide full compatibility with IEEE standards:
– 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)
• Auto-sensing and auto-negotiating capabilities for all ports.
• Automatic address learning function to build the packet-forwarding information table. The
table contains up to 8K media access control (MAC) addresses.
• Full- and Half-duplex functions for all 10/100Mbps ports.
• Store-and-Forward transmission to remove bad packets from the network.
• Full-duplex IEEE 802.3x pause frame flow control.
• Active flow control to minimize packet loss/frame drops.
• Half-duplex back-pressure control.
• Per port LEDs, Power supply LED, Master LED and Stack ID indication.
• Internal power supply.
• Standard 1U high, rack mountable 17" chassis.
