GS728TXS/GS752TXS Smart Switch Switch software is downloaded separately for each stack member. However, all units in the stack must be running the same software version. A stack unit can operate in one of the following modes: • A standalone unit runs as a general switch. The standalone unit does not run the stacking application until it is connected to a stack. • The master unit manages the entire stack, and is responsible for the entire stack configuration.

GS728TXS/GS752TXS Smart Switch RJ-45 Ports RJ-45 ports are AutoSensing ports. When you insert a cable into an RJ-45 port, the switch automatically ascertains the maximum speed (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) and duplex mode (half-duplex or full-duplex) of the attached device. All ports support only an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable terminated with an 8-pin RJ-45 plug. To simplify the procedure for attaching devices, all RJ-45 ports support Auto Uplink.

3. 3 Applications Your GS728TXS/GS752TXS Smart Switch is designed to provide flexibility in configuring your network connections. It can be used as your only network traffic-distribution device or with 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, 1000 Mbps, and 10-Gbps hubs and switches.
PAGE 19
GS728TXS/GS752TXS Smart Switch Desktop Switching The smart switch can be used as a desktop switch to build a small network that enables users to have 1000-Mbps access to a file server. With full duplex enabled, the switch port connected to the server or computer can provide 2000 Mbps throughput. If a 10-Gbps module is used to connect the switch to the file server in full-duplex operation, then the server can provide up to 20 Gbps throughput.
