GS748T Gigabit Smart Switch  
Overview  
The NETGEAR GS748T Gigabit Smart Switch provides 48 twisted-pair ports with four built-in  
Small Form Factor (SFP) GBIC slots that support nonstop 1000M fiber networks.  
Using these Gigabit slots, you can create high-speed connections to a server or network  
backbone. For example, you can:  
Connect switches to each other with high-speed links  
Link to high-speed servers  
Provide 10/100/1000M copper and 1000M fiber connectivity  
The NETGEAR GS748T Gigabit 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, Class of Service (CoS) for traffic prioritization,  
IPv6 Management support to enable IPv6 operation over the network port, IPv6 QoS, IPv6  
ACL, static routing, and EEE support. These features provide better understanding and  
control of the network. Initial discovery of the switch on the network requires the Smart  
Control Center program, a utility that runs on a computer.  
The 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. 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-duplex or full-duplex mode. The  
maximum segment length is 328 feet (100 meters) over Category 5 Unshielded Twisted-Pair  
(UTP) cable.

GS748T Gigabit Smart Switch  
Device Hardware Interfaces  
RJ-45 Ports  
RJ-45 ports are autosensing ports. When inserting a cable into an RJ-45 port, the switch  
automatically ascertains the maximum speed (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) and duplex mode  
(half-duplex or full-duplex) of the attached device. All ports support only unshielded or  
shielded twisted-pair (UTP or STP) cable terminated with an 8-pin RJ-45 plug.  
To simplify the procedure for attaching devices, all RJ-45 ports support Auto Uplink. This  
technology allows attaching devices to the RJ-45 ports with either straight-through or  
crossover cables. When inserting a cable into the switch’s RJ-45 port, the switch  
automatically:  
Senses whether the cable is a straight-through or crossover cable.  
Determines whether the link to the attached device requires a “normal” connection (such  
as when connecting the port to a computer) or an “uplink” connection (such as when  
connecting the port to a router, switch, or hub).  
Configures the RJ-45 port to enable communications with the attached device, without  
requiring user intervention. In this way, the Auto Uplink technology compensates for  
setting uplink connections, while eliminating concern about whether to use crossover or  
straight-through cables when attaching devices.  
SFP Ports  
To enable you to have fiber connections on your network, there are four SFP ports that  
accommodate standard SFP transceiver modules, which are sold separately. Two SFP ports  
are combo ports and share connections with the last two RJ-45 ports. The SFP combo ports  
and the shared RJ-45 ports are ports 47 and 48.  
Only one type of connection of a combo port can be active at any time. For example, if SFP  
port 48 is in use, copper port 48 is not active.  
Note: If both connectors of a combo port are connected to other devices,  
only the fiber port is active.  
SFP ports 49 and 50 are dedicated SFP ports and are not combined with any RJ-45 ports.

GS748T Gigabit Smart Switch  
Reset Button  
The Smart Switch has a Reset button on the front panel to allow you to manually reboot the  
switch. This action is equivalent to powering the unit off and back on. The last saved  
configuration is loaded into the switch as it resets. To operate the Reset button, insert a  
device such as a paper clip into the opening to press the recessed button. The front-panel  
LEDs should extinguish and light again as the switch performs its Power On Self Test  
(POST).  
Factory Defaults Button  
The Smart Switch has a Factory Defaults button on the front panel so that you can remove  
the current configuration and return the device to its factory settings. When you enable the  
Factory Defaults button, all settings including the password, VLAN settings, and port  
configurations are removed. To operate the Factory Defaults button, insert a device such as  
a paper clip into the opening to press the recessed button for over two seconds.

Step 6: Apply AC Power  
The GS748T Gigabit Smart Switch does not have an ON/OFF switch. Power must be  
controlled by the power cord connection.  
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 end of the power connection cable to the power receptacle on the back of  
the switch.  
2. Connect the AC power connection cable into a power source such as a wall socket or  
power strip.  
When applying power, the green Power LED on the switch’s front panel illuminates.  
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 A.

GS748T Gigabit Smart Switch  
Step 7: Manage the Switch using a Web Browser or the  
Smart Control Center  
The GS748T 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, IPv6 management support to enable IPv6 operation over the  
network port, IPv6 QoS (ACL), static routing, EEE support, 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 program called Smart Control Center. For more information about  
managing the switch, see the GS748T Software Administration Manual on the Smart Switch

Power LED is off.  
No power is received.  
Check the power cord connections and the  
connected device. Ensure all cables used are correct  
and comply with Ethernet specifications.

intermittent.  
Port connection is not  
working.  
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. Check for a defective  
computer adapter card, cable, or port by testing them  
in an alternate environment where all products are  
functioning.

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 computers 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.  
Auto-Negotiation  
The RJ-45 ports negotiate the correct duplex mode, speed, and flow control if the device at  
the other end of the link supports auto negotiation. If the device does not support auto  
negotiation, the switch determines only the speed correctly, and the duplex mode defaults to  
half-duplex.
