and 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

Wizard Discovery program, a utility that runs on a PC.

The GS700AT Smart 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. 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- or full-duplex mode. The maximum segment length is 328 feet (100

meters) over Category 5 Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP) cable, but much longer for fiber

connections using SFP GBIC modules.

The NETGEAR Smart Switch can be used as a desktop to build a small network that enables you

to have 1000 Mbps access to a file server. With full-duplex enabled, the switch port connected to

the server or PC can provide 2000 Mbps throughput.
