CHAPTER 3: APPLICATIONS  

Your NETGEAR ProSafe FS726T Smart Switch is designed to provide flexibility in configuring your network connections. It can be used as a stand-
alone device or with 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, 10/100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps hubs and switches. 

 

Desktop Switching 

Your NETGEAR ProSafe FS726T Smart Switch can be used as 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 PC can provide 2000 Mbps throughput.
