Introduction and Hardware Description

ProSAFE 26-Port Fast Ethernet Smart Switch FS526Tv2

Overview

This hardware installation guide is for the NETGEAR ProSAFE 26-Port Fast Ethernet Smart

Switch FS526Tv2. The switch provides twenty-four 10/100BASE-T ports and two

10/100/1000BASE-T ports.

You can make high-speed connections using the two Gigabit Ethernet ports. For example:

•Connecting switches to each other with high-speed links

•Connecting to a network backbone

•Linking to high-speed servers

•Providing 10/100/1000 copper connectivity

Note: In this guide, the NETGEAR ProSAFE 26-Port Fast Ethernet Smart

Switch FS526Tv2 is referred as the switch.

The switch also provides the benefit of administrative management with a complete package

of features to monitor, configure, and control the network. With the web management

interface, you can view the switch’s many features and use them 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. Initial discovery of the switch on the network requires

the Smart Control Center, a utility that runs on a computer.

You can use the switch freestanding or rack-mounted in a wiring closet or equipment room.

The switch is IEEE-compliant and provides low latency for high-speed networking. All ports

can automatically negotiate to the highest speed. This capability makes the switch well suited

for environments that have a mix of Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet devices. In

addition, all RJ-45 ports operate in half- or full-duplex mode. The maximum segment length is

328 feet (100 meters) over a Category 5 twisted-pair cable.

You can use the switch as a desktop to build a small network that enables you 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.

Introduction and Hardware Description

ProSAFE 26-Port Fast Ethernet Smart Switch FS526Tv2

RJ-45 Ports

RJ-45 ports are autosensing and autonegotiating ports. When you insert a cable into an

RJ-45 port, the switch automatically ascertains the maximum speed (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps)

and duplex mode (half- or full-duplex) of the attached device. All ports support a twisted-pair

cable that is terminated with an 8-pin RJ-45 plug.

To simplify the procedure for attaching devices, all RJ-45 ports support Auto MDI/MIDX. This

technology enables you to attach devices to the RJ-45 ports with either straight-through or

crossover cables. When you insert a cable into the switch’s RJ-45 port, the switch

automatically configures the RJ-45 port to enable communications with the attached device.

With Auto MDI/MIDX technology, you do not need to configure uplink connections, and you

do not need to think about whether to use crossover or straight-through cables when you

attach a device.

Factory Defaults Button and Reset Button

The switch has a Factory Defaults button to clear the configuration and return the switch to

the factory settings. Pressing the button for at least two seconds causes the switch to reboot

with factory settings. All custom settings are removed, including the password, VLAN

settings, and port configurations.

In addition, the switch has a Reset button. Pressing this button reboots the switch but does

not change its configuration.
