Introduction

GS516TP Gigabit Smart Switch

Overview

The NETGEAR GS516TP Gigabit Smart Switch provides 16 twisted-pair ports that support

nonstop 10/100/1000M networks.

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 10/100/1000M copper connectivity

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

of features for the observation, configuration, and control of the 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. The switch’s management features include:

• Configuration for port and switch information

• VLAN for traffic control

• Port trunking for increased bandwidth

• Class of Service (CoS) for traffic prioritization

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

computer.

The 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. This capability makes the switch ideal for environments that

have a mix of Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, or Gigabit Ethernet devices. In addition, all RJ-45

ports operate in half-duplex or full-duplex mode. The maximum segment length is 328 feet

(100 meters) over Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable.

Features

The following list identifies the key features of this switch:

• Sixteen 10/100/1000 Mbps AutoSensing Gigabit Ethernet switching ports.

• The first eight ports are PoE (Power over Ethernet) PSE ports providing up to 15.4W of

DC power.

• Ports 15 and 16 are PD ports receiving power from power devices.

• Full NETGEAR Smart Switch functionality.

• Full compatibility with IEEE standards:

- IEEE 802.3i (10BASE-T)

- IEEE 802.3u (100BASE-TX)

- IEEE 802.3ab (1000BASE-T)
