GS716T and GS724T Smart Switch Setup

This chapter provides an overview of starting your NETGEAR GS716T and GS724T Smart 
Switch and accessing the user interface. It also leads you through the steps to use the Smart 
Control Center utility. This chapter contains the following sections:

Switch Management Interface 

The NETGEAR GS716T and GS724T Smart Switches contains an embedded Web server 
and management software for managing and monitoring switch functions. The GS716T and 
GS724T functions as a simple switch without the management software. However, you can 
use the management software to configure more advanced features that can improve switch 
efficiency and overall network performance.

Web-based management lets you monitor, configure, and control your switch remotely using 
a standard Web browser instead of using expensive and complicated SNMP software 
products. From your Web browser, you can monitor the performance of your switch and 
optimize its configuration for your network. You can configure all switch features, such as 
VLANs, QoS, and ACLs by using the Web-based management interface.

NETGEAR provides the Smart Control Center utility with this product. This program runs 
under Microsoft

®

 Windows

®

 XP, Windows 2000, or Windows Vista

®

 and provides a front end 

that discovers the switches on your network segment (L2 broadcast domain). When you 
power up your switch for the first time, use the Smart Control Center to discover the switch 
and view the network information that has been automatically assigned to the switch by a 
DHCP server; or, if no DHCP server is present on the network, use the Smart Control Center 
to discover the switch and assign static network information.
