SFP GBIC Module
The GBIC module bays accommodate standard SFP GBIC modules, such as the AGM731F, AGM732F, or AGM733 from NETGEAR, allowing fiber connections on the network. The module bay is a combo port, sharing a connection with an RJ-45 port. Being a combo port, only one type of connection can be active at any given time. For example, both copper and fiber port cannot be used at the same time. If both connectors are plugged in at the same time, the fiber port will be active. Factory Defaults Button
The Smart Switch has a Factory Default button so that you can remove the current configuration and return the device to its factory settings. When you enable the Factory Default button, all settings, including the password, VLAN settings and port configurations will be removed. It can be used as a stand-alone device or with 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps hubs and switches. 15

Desktop Switching
The NETGEAR Smart Switch can be used as a desktop switch to build a small network that enables users to have 1000 Mbps access to a file server. With full-duplex enabled, the switch port connected to the server or computer can provide 2000 Mbps throughput. Installation
This chapter describes the installation procedures for your NETGEAR Smart Switch. Switch installation involves the following steps:

Step 1: Prepare the Site
Before you install the switch, ensure the operating environment meets the operating environment requirements in the following table. Access
Locate the switch in a position that allows access to the front panel RJ-45 ports, view the front panel LEDs, and access power connector. Check cable routing to make sure cables are not damaged or creating a safety hazard. 20

Step 4: Connect Devices to the Switch
The following procedure describes how to connect computers to the switch’s RJ-45 ports. The NETGEAR Smart Switch contains Auto Uplink™ technology, which allows the attaching of devices using either straight-through or crossover cables. Connecting Devices to the Switch
Connect each computer to an RJ-45 network port on the Switch front panel (Figure 8). 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. 21

Step 5: Install an SFP GBIC Module
The following procedure describes how to install an SFP Gigabit Ethernet module in the switch’s Gigabit module bay. If an SFP GBIC module is not being installed at this time, skip this procedure. To install an SFP GBIC module: Insert the SFP module into the SFP module bay. [. . . ] The gigabit port on the Gigabit module negotiates speed, duplex mode, and flow control, provided that the attached device supports auto-negotiation. LEDs
