Gigabit Ethernet Ports (RJ-45 and GBIC Module Bays)

Your NETGEAR Model GSM712/GSM712F Managed Gigabit Switch has either 1000BASE-T port or as a GBIC module bay. The default setting for those ports are for the automatic detection of media being used. Which means depend on which connector is used, the port type will be set automatically. Or they can be selected via management interface configuration. The Gigabit Ethernet ports provide a full-duplex 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps) connection that effectively doubles throughput to 2 Gbps.

The GBIC bay accommodates a standard GBIC module, such as the NETGEAR AGM721F GBIC module or the AGM721T GBIC module. The AGM721F GBIC module has an SC connector that is compatible with the IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-SX standard, while the AGM721T has an RJ-45 connector and is compliant with the IEEE 802.3ab 1000BASE-T standard.

LED Descriptions

The front panel of the NETGEAR Model GSM712/GSM712F Managed Gigabit Switch has LEDs that provide a quick and accurate display of port speed, activity, collisions, and duplex mode. Table 2-1 summarizes the LEDs on the switch and Gigabit Ethernet module.

Table 2-1. Front Panel LEDs:

Label	Color	Activity	Description
Power	Green	On	Power is supplied to the switch.
	Yellow	On	Power On Self Test (POST) in progress
		Off	Power is disconnected
Link	Green	On	Port has a valid link connection.
(the port number)		Off	A valid link has not been established on the port.
LED Mode in (Three LEDs)
Max Spd	Green	On	Port has made a connection at 1000 Mbps for that port.
		Off	Port is not operating at 1000 Mbps.
ACT	Green	Blinking	Data transmission is occurring on the port.
		Off	No data transmission is occurring on the port.
FDX	Green	On	Port is operating in full-duplex mode.
	Yellow	On	Port is operating in half-duplex mode.
		Blinking	Collision is occurring.

Note: When Copper GBIC is used at forced speed mode, link and FDX LEDs are “on” regardless if RJ45 port is connected.
