Attaching Mounting Brackets Step 3: Checking the Installation Before you apply power: o o o o Inspect the equipment thoroughly. Check cable routing to make sure cables are not damaged or creating a safety hazard. Be sure all equipment is mounted properly and securely. Step 4: Connecting Devices to the Switch The following procedure describes how to connect devices to the switch's RJ-45 ports. Your NETGEAR ProSafe FS726TP Smart Switch with PoE contains Auto UplinkTM technology, which allows you to attach devices using either straight-through or crossover cables. Figure 4-2. Connecting Devices to the Switch Connect each device to an RJ-45 network port on the switch's front panel (see Figure 4-4). Use Category 5 (Cat5) unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable terminated with an RJ-45 connector to make these connections. Note: Ethernet specifications limit the cable length between the switch and the attached device to 100 m (328 ft). Step 5: Installing an SFP GBIC Module The following procedure describes how to install an SFP Gigabit Ethernet module in the switch's Gigabit module bay. If you do not want to install an SFP GBIC module at this time, skip this procedure. To install an SFP GBIC module: o Insert the SFP module into the SFP module bay. Press firmly to ensure the module seats into the connector. Page 13 of 19 Figure 4-3. Installing a Gigabit Ethernet Module into FS726TP Step 6: Applying AC Power NETGEAR ProSafe FS726TP Smart Switch with PoE does not have an ON/OFF switch; the only method of applying or removing AC power is by connecting or disconnecting the power cord. Before you connect the power cord, select an AC outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch, which can turn off power to the switch. After you select an appropriate outlet, use the following procedure to apply AC power. Connect the female end of the supplied AC power adapter cable to the power receptacle on the back of the switch. Connect the 3-pronged end of the AC power adapter cable to a grounded 3-pronged AC outlet. When you apply power, the Power LED on the switch's front panel will be Green. If the Power LED does not go on, check that the power cable is plugged in correctly and that the power source is good. If this does not resolve the problem, refer to Appendix B, Troubleshooting. Step 7: Switch Management through a Web Browser or the PC Utility for Initial Configuration Your NETGEAR ProSafe FS726TP Smart Switch with PoE contains software for viewing, changing, and monitoring the way it works. However, the management software can let you setup VLAN and Trunking features and also improve the efficiency of the switch and, as a result, improve its overall performance as well as the performance of your network. [. . . ] IP relates to the address of the end station to which data is being sent, as well as the address of the destination network. TCP/IP Traffic prioritization Unicast VLAN Giving time-critical data traffic a higher quality of service over other, non-critical data traffic. A logical association that allows users to communicate as if they were physically connected to a single LAN, independent of the actual physical configuration of the network.
