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. (The figure shows the GS752TXS Smart Switch;
however, the GS728TXS Smart Switch can also be used for desktop switching.)

Backbone Switching
You can use the smart switch as a backbone switch in a small network that gives users
high-speed access to servers and other network devices. (The figure shows the GS752TXS
Smart Switch; however, the GS728TXS Smart Switch can also be used for backbone
switching.)
