Overview
Your NETGEAR Model FSM726S/FSM750S Managed Stackable Switch provides the benefit of
management with a complete package of features for the observation, configuration, and control of your
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. For those who prefer a more traditional interface, there is both
a Command Menu Interface (CMI) as well as a Command Line Interface (CLI) available through the
console port on the front or a telnet connection via the network. The switch’s management features include
SNMP and RMON for port and switch information, VLAN for traffic control, port trunking for increased
bandwidth, and Class of Service (CoS) for traffic prioritization. These features and more will allow you to
better understand and better control your network.

Your NETGEAR Model FSM726S/FSM750S Managed Stackable Switch also provides two Gigabit
Ethernet ports that are used either by the built-in RJ-45 ports or by the GBIC module bays, both located on
the front panel. The GBIC module bays will accept any standard GBIC module, including the AGM721F
1000BASE-SX module from NETGEAR. Using these Gigabit ports, 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 up to high-speed servers
• Connect fiber and copper Gigabit Ethernet networks

Your NETGEAR Model FSM726S/FSM750S Managed Stackable 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. It includes 24 auto-sensing 10/100 Ethernet/Fast Ethernet ports. The 10/100 ports are shielded
RJ-45 ports that automatically negotiate to the highest speed. In addition, all 10/100 Mbps ports operate in
half- or full-duplex mode, increasing the maximum bandwidth of each connection up to 20 Mbps or 200
Mbps, respectively. Using Auto Uplink™ technology, every RJ-45 port will automatically detect the proper
MDI or MDI-X configuration to make the connection, eliminating the need for crossover cables. The
maximum segment length is 328 feet (100 meters) over Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable.
