CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 
Congratulations on your purchase of the NETGEAR Model GSM712 Managed Gigabit Ethernet Switch! Your NETGEAR Switch is a state-of-the-art, 
high-performance, IEEE-compliant network solution designed for users who want the power of management to eliminate bottlenecks, boost 
performance, and increase productivity running over the maximum possible bandwidth. In addition to providing easy, straightforward management, 
your switch is flexible and comes with two Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) ports that can use any GBIC module to provide Gigabit connectivity 
over a variety of fiber or copper cabling. 
This chapter serves as the introduction for using your NETGEAR GSM712 Managed Gigabit Switch and provides the following information:

Overview 
Your NETGEAR Model GSM712 Managed Gigabit 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 a Command Menu Interface available 
through the console port on the front or via Telenet.  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 GSM712 Managed Gigabit Switch also provides two GBIC module bays. The GBIC module bays will accept any standard 
GBIC module, including the AGM721F 1000BASE-SX module or AGM721T 1000BASE-T 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 long distance, high-speed links 
• 
Combine fiber and copper networks 
Your NETGEAR Model GSM712 Managed Gigabit Switch can operate 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 10 auto-sensing 10/100/1000 Ethernet/Fast Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet 
ports. The 10/100/1000 Mbps ports are shielded RJ-45 ports that automatically negotiate to the highest speed. This capability makes the switch 
ideal for environments that have a mix of Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet devices. In addition, all 10/100/1000 Mbps ports operate in 
half- or full-duplex mode. The maximum segment length is 328 feet (100 meters) over Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable.
