GS700TS Hardware Installation Guide
Introduction 1-16
v1.0, November 2007
• The devices support full Netgear Smart Switch functionality and provide full compatibility
with the following IEEE standards:
– IEEE 802.3i, (10Base-T)
– IEEE 802.3u (100Base-TX, 100Base-FX)
– IEEE 802.3x (Full-duplex flow control)
– IEEE 802.3ab (1000Base-T)
– IEEE 802.3z (1000Base-X)
– IEEE 802.3af (DTE Power via MDI)
• Auto-sensing and auto-negotiating 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 4K Media Access Control (MAC) addresses.
• Full- and half-duplex functions for all 10/100/1000 Mbps 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, System LEDs.
• Internal power supply.
• Standard 1U high, rack mountable19”chassis.
• Fan speed control supported (optional).
Stacking
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 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
10/100/1000 ports are supported in a stack
