Chapter 2 Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of the NETGEAR Prosafe Stackable Smart Switch. The Prosafe Smart Switch is a state-of-the-art, high-performance, IEEE-compliant network solution designed for users who require a large number of ports and want the power of Gigabit connectivity to eliminate bottlenecks, boost performance, and increase productivity. To simplify installation, the switch is shipped ready for use out of the box. This chapter serves as an introduction to the NETGEAR Prosafe Stackable Smart Switch and provides the following information: Overview Switch Features Package contents

Overview

This Installation Guide is for the following NETGEAR Prosafe Stackable Smart Switch models: FS728TSsupports 24 ports of 10/100 BASE-T, 2 ports of 10/100/1000 BASE-T, and 2 GbE combo (Copper/Fiber) ports FS752TSsupports 48 ports of 10/100 BASE-T, 2 ports of 10/100/1000 BASE-T, and 2 GbE combo (Copper/Fiber) ports FS752TPS PoEsupports 48 ports of 10/100 BASE-T, 2 ports of 10/100/1000 BASE-T, and 2 GbE combo (Copper/Fiber) ports. This model supports the added feature of Power over Ethernet (PoE).
These switches can be stacked together in a stack of up to six units, or a maximum of 192 10/100 ports, or can be used as stand-alone devices.
Introduction v1.0, December 2005
Using Gigabit ports, high-speed connections can be made to a server or network backbone. Application examples include: Connecting switches to each other with high-speed links Linking to high-speed servers Providing 10/100/1000 copper and fiber connectivity The 2 10/100/1000 Base T ports are primarily used for stacking, but can alternatively be used to provide additional bandwidth.

The NETGEAR Smart Switch also provides the benefit of administrative management with a complete package of features for the observation, configuration, and control of the 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. 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 provide better understand and control of the network. Initial discovery of the switch on the network requires the Smart Wizard Discovery program, a utility that runs on a PC. The NETGEAR 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. 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, or Gigabit Ethernet devices. In addition, all RJ-45 ports operate in half- or full-duplex mode, increasing the maximum bandwidth of each connection up 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, but much longer for fiber connections using SFP GBIC modules.

Introduction

Stacking Features

Stacking provides multiple switch management through a single point as if all stack masters are a single unit. All stack masters are accessed through a single IP address through which the stack is managed. The stack is can be managed from the following: Web-based Interface SNMP Management Station Devices support stacking up to six units per stack, or can operate as stand-alone units. Up to 192 10/100 ports are supported in a stack. During the Stacking setup, the switches will auto-select one as the Stacking Master. All other devices are named as slave stack members, and assigned a unique Unit ID. One of the slave units is designated as the backup master. The backup master acts as a slave stack master, but can become a stack master in the event of failure of stack master. The master and backup master are assigned unit IDs of 1 and 2. The Stack Master provides a Single point of control and management as well as a single interface in which to control and manage the stack. Switch software is downloaded separately for each stack members. However, all units in the stack must be running the same software version. A stack unit can operate in one of the following Modes: Stand-alonethe unit runs as a general switch and does not run the stacking application. Master Unitmanages the Stack and is responsible for the configuration. Master-Backupruns as a slave unit and monitors the operation of the stack master. If the master unit fails, you must select the Master-Backup manually to assume the Stack-master role. If a Master-Backup becomes the Master Unit, another Master-Backup will need to be selected manually. One of the Slave units will not automatically become a Master-Backup. Slaveruns a slave version of the Switching Algorithm, which allows the applications running on the master unit to control the resources of the slave unit.

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.

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. The SFP GBIC bay accommodates a standard SFP GBIC module.

Chapter 3 Installation
This chapter describes the installation procedures for your NETGEAR Smart Switch. Switch installation involves the following steps: Step 1: Preparing the site Step 2: Installing the switch Step 3: Checking the installation Step 4: Connecting devices to the switch Step 5: Installing an SFP GBIC module Step 6: Installing device as stand-alone or stack master Step 7: Apply AC power Step 8: Switch management through a Web Brower or the PC Utility for initial configuration
Step 1: Preparing the Site
Before you installing the switch, ensure the operating environment meets the operating environment requirements in the following table.
Table 3-1. Site Requirements
Characteristics Mounting Requirements Desktop installations: Provide a flat table or shelf surface. Rack-mount installations: Use a 17-inch (48.3-centimeter) EIA standard equipment rack that is grounded and physically secure. The rack-mount kit supplied with the switch is also required. 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.

Access

Installation v1.0, December 2005
Hardware Installation Guide for the Prosafe Stackable Smart Switch FS700TS Series Table 3-1. Site Requirements (continued)
Characteristics Power source Requirements Provide a power source within 6 feet (1.8 meters) of the installation location. Power specifications for the switch are shown in Appendix C. Ensure the AC outlet is not controlled by a wall switch, which can accidentally turn off power to the outlet and the switch. Temperature: Install the switch in a dry area, with ambient temperature between 0 and 50C (32 and 122F). Keep the switch away from heat sources such as direct sunlight, warm air exhausts, hot-air vents, and heaters. Operating humidity: The installation location should have a maximum relative humidity of 90%, non-condensing. Ventilation: Do not restrict airflow by covering or obstructing air inlets on the sides of the switch. Keep at least 2 inches (5.08 centimeters) free on all sides for cooling. Be sure there is adequate airflow in the room or wiring closet where the switch is installed. Operating conditions: Keep the switch at least 6 ft (1.83 m) away from nearest source of electromagnetic noise, such as a photocopy machine.

There are two stacking topologies supported by the device, the Ring topology or Chain topology.

Figure 3-4

The device is Plug and Play in terms of stacking configuration. Before powering up the device, connect the devices into the required stacking topology. Power up the devices. The stacking Master and slave designations are configured through automatic discovery. Manually changing the stacking configuration is through switch's web page once the device has been booted and is operational. For more information on stacking see the NETGEAR Prosafe Stackable Smart Switch User Guide.

3-6 v1.0, December 2005

Step 7: Applying AC Power
NETGEAR Smart Switch does not have an ON/OFF switch. The method of applying or removing AC power is by connecting or disconnecting the power cord. Before connecting the power cord, select an AC outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch, which can turn off power to the switch. After selecting an appropriate outlet, use the following procedure to apply AC power. 1. Connect the female end of the supplied AC power adapter cable to the power receptacle on the back of the switch. 2. Connect the 3-pronged end of the AC power adapter cable to a grounded 3-pronged AC outlet. When applying power, the Power LED on the switch's front panel is 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, see Chapter 4, Troubleshooting.
Step 8: Switch Management through a Web Browser or the PC Utility for Initial Configuration
The NETGEAR Smart Switch contains software for viewing, changing, and monitoring the way it works. This management software is not required for the switch to work. The ports can be used without using the management software. However, the management software enables the setup of VLAN and Trunking features, and also improves the efficiency of the switch, which results in the improvement of its overall performance as well as the performance of the network. After powering up the switch for the first time, the Smart Switch can be configured using a Web browser or a utility program called Smart Wizard Discovery. For more information about managing the switch, see the Software Manual on the Smart Switch Resource CD.

Chapter 4 Troubleshooting
This chapter provides information about troubleshooting the NETGEAR Smart Switch. Topics include the following: Troubleshooting chart Additional troubleshooting suggestions

Troubleshooting Chart

The following table lists symptoms, causes, and solutions of possible problems.
Table 4-1. Troubleshooting Chart
Symptom Power LED is off. Cause No power is received. Solution Check the power cord connections for the switch at the switch and the connected device. Ensure all cables used are correct and comply with Ethernet specifications. Check the crimp on the connectors and make sure that the plug is properly inserted and locked into the port at both the switch and the connecting device. Ensure all cables used are correct and comply with Ethernet specifications. See Appendix D. Check for a defective adapter card, cable, or port by testing them in an alternate environment where all products are functioning. Make sure the attached device is set to autonegotiate.
Link LED is off or intermittent.
Port connection is not working.
File transfer is slow or performance degradation is a problem. A segment or device is not recognized as part of the network.
Half- or full-duplex setting on the switch and the connected device are not the same. One or more devices are not properly connected, or cabling does not meet Ethernet guidelines.
Verify that the cabling is correct. Ensure all connectors are securely positioned in the required ports. Equipment may have been accidentally disconnected.
Troubleshooting v1.0, December 2005
Hardware Installation Guide for the Prosafe Stackable Smart Switch FS700TS Series Table 4-1. Troubleshooting Chart (continued)
Symptom ACT LED is flashing continuously on all connected ports and the network is disabled. A unit is linked to a stack, but does not join the stack. Cause A network loop (redundant path) has been created. Solution Break the loop by ensuring that there is only one path from any networked device to any other networked device. Remove the unit from the stack. If the stack links are copper links, push the "Restore to Default" button. If the stack links are combo links, use the Web Management to configure the unit as a stackable unit, with combo links used as the stacking ports.
The stacking ports of the new unit are configured differently from the stack, or the unit is configured as a stand-alone unit.

Additional Troubleshooting Suggestions
If the suggestions in Troubleshooting Chart do not resolve the problem, refer to the troubleshooting suggestions in this section.

Network Adapter Cards

Ensure the network adapter cards installed in the PCs are in working condition and the software driver has been installed.

Configuration

If problems occur after altering the network configuration, restore the original connections and determine the problem by implementing the new changes, one step at a time. Ensure that cable distances, repeater limits, and other physical aspects of the installation do not exceed the Ethernet limitations.

Switch Integrity

If required, verify the integrity of the switch by resetting the switch. To reset the switch, remove the AC power from the switch and then reapply AC power. If the problem continues, contact NETGEAR technical support. In North America, call 1-888-NETGEAR. If you are outside of North America, please refer to the support information card included with your product.

Troubleshooting

Auto-negotiation

The RJ-45 ports negotiate the correct duplex mode and speed if the device at the other end of the link supports auto negotiation. If the device does not support auto negotiation, the switch only determines the speed correctly and the duplex mode defaults to half-duplex. The gigabit port on the Gigabit module negotiates speed, duplex mode, and flow control, provided that the attached device supports auto-negotiation.
