[SPECIAL NOTE: Ports 27 and 28 are in stacking mode by default. While you may connect and
establish a link with non-stacking interfaces, no traffic will pass across the interface. These
interfaces are available to quickly and easily build a stack of switches by simply connecting two or
more FSM7300 switches together with either Category 5 copper Ethernet cables or with SFP-based
fiber connections.
•
After ascertaining this information, the switch automatically configures the RJ-45 port to enable
communications with the attached device, without requiring user intervention. In this way, the
Auto Uplink technology eliminates the need for setting uplink connections or being concerned
about whether to use crossover or straight-through cables when attaching devices.

SFP module ports
The last four ports (49,50,51,52) on the FSM7352PS can be used for either STP (RJ45) or SFP (fiber) type
cabling. However, both port types cannot be used at the same time. The switch will detect the port in use
automatically simply by the first connected interface. If both connectors are plugged the SFP interface will
operate normally and copper interface will be disabled.
The SFP module ports accommodate NETGEAR AGM731F (1000BASE-SX), AGM732F (1000BASE-LX),
AGM733 (1000BASE-ZX) modules, or any standard SFP module which has an LC connector that is IEEE
802.3z compliant.
