1. Introduction

Congratulations on the purchase of your NETGEAR®ProSafeTM XS712T Smart Switch! Your

XS712T Smart Switch is a state-of-the-art, high-performance, IEEE-compliant network solution

designed for users who require many ports and want the power of Gigabit connectivity to

eliminate bottlenecks, boost performance, and increase productivity. There are 12 twisted-pair

ports on the front panel of the switch that support nonstop 100M/1000M/10G networks. The front

panel also has two SFP+ ports that support 1000M and 10G optical modules. To simplify

installation, the switch is shipped ready for use out of the box.

This installation guide describes how to install and power on the smart switch. The information in

this manual is intended for readers with intermediate computer and Internet skills.

This chapter serves as an introduction to the smart switch and includes the following sections:

XS712T Smart Switch

Overview

The NETGEAR XS712T Smart Switch provides 12 twisted-pair ports that support nonstop

100M/1000M/10G networks. The switch also has two built-in enhanced small form factor

pluggable (SFP+) GBIC combo slots that support 1000M and 10G optical modules.

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 100M/1000M/10G copper and 1000M/10G fiber connectivity

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

package of features for the observation, configuration, and control of the network. Using the

simple and intuitive web-based graphical user interface (GUI), you can view and use the

switch’s many capabilities. 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 prioritizing traffic. 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 Windows computer.

The smart switch can be freestanding 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, which makes the switch ideal for environments

that have a mix of Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, or 10-Gigabit Ethernet devices.

Category 5e (Cat 5e) or better Ethernet cable (Cat 6, Cat 6a, or Cat 7) can be used to make

10G connections. Cat 6a or Cat 7 cables are recommended if the cable distance is greater

than 45 meters (148 feet).

Features

The following lists the key features of the XS712T Smart Switch:

•Twelve 100M/1000M/10G AutoSensing Gigabit Ethernet switching ports.

•Two 1000M/10G SFP+ combo ports.

•Full NETGEAR Smart Switch functionality.

•Full compatibility with IEEE standards:

-IEEE 802.3u (100BASE-TX)

-IEEE 802.3ab (1000BASE-T)

-IEEE 802.3z (1000BASE-x)

-IEEE 802.3an (10GBASE-T)

-IEEE 802.3 Clause 49 (10GBASE-LR and 10GBASE-SR)

-IEEE802.aq (10GBASE-LRM)

XS712T Smart Switch

-IEEE802.3ae (10GBASE Ethernet)

-IEEE802.3az (Energy Efficient Ethernet)

-IEEE 802.3x (full-duplex flow control)

•AutoSensing and autonegotiating capabilities for all ports.

•Auto Uplink™ on all ports to make the right connection.

•Automatic address learning function to build the packet-forwarding information table. The

table contains up to 32K Media Access Control (MAC) addresses.

•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 and frame drops.

•Half-duplex backpressure control.

•Per-port LEDs and Power LED.

•Internal open frame power supply.

•Standard NETGEAR 7xx series chassis (1U high).
