FS728TP Smart Switch Software Administration Manual
1-2 Getting Started with Switch Management
v1.1, September 2009
Switch Management Interface
Your NETGEAR FS728TP 10/100 PoE Smart Switch with Gigabit Ports contains an embedded
web server and management software for managing and monitoring switch functions. This switch
operates as a simple switch without using the management software. The management software
enables you to configure more advanced features, and consequently improve switch efficiency as
well as overall network performance.
Web-Based Management enables you to monitor, configure, and control your switch remotely
using a common web browser, instead of having to use expensive and complicated SNMP
software products. Simply by using your web browser, you can monitor the performance of your
switch and optimize network configuration. Using your browser, for example, you can set up
VLANs, traffic priority, and configure port trunking.
In addition, NETGEAR provides the SmartWizard Discovery utility with this product. This
program runs under Microsoft Windows XP or Windows 2000 and provides a “front end” that
discovers the switches on your network segment. When you power up your switch for the first
time, the SmartWizard Discovery utility enables you to configure its basic network parameters
without prior knowledge of IP address or subnet mask. Following such configuration, this program
leads you into the Web Management interface.
Some features of the SmartWizard Discovery utility and Web Management interface are shown in
the table below.
Note: For complete hardware installation instructions, refer to the FS728TP Smart Switch
Hardware Installation Manual included on your Resource CD, or go to
