How to install Netgear ProSafe GS752TP Ethernet Switch

• Plan your topology: Determine where the switch will reside (rack, cabinet, or desk) and map out the devices that will connect via PoE ports and standard Ethernet ports. Identify uplink paths to the core network and to any fiber or copper uplinks you may be using.
• Power up and connect: Place the switch in a well-ventilated area, connect the power cable, and verify LEDs indicate normal operation. Ensure there is adequate airflow to prevent overheating in busy environments.
• Connect devices: Attach PoE-enabled devices (cameras, VoIP phones, access points) to PoE-capable ports and connect standard devices (PCs, printers) to other ports. Use category-compatible cables to maximize performance.
• Configure basic settings: Access the switch’s web-based management interface and configure essential settings such as VLANs, QoS, and port security. Create separate VLANs for guests and staff where appropriate to improve security and traffic management.
• Apply security and monitoring: Enable appropriate security features, set up user accounts with the least privilege necessary, and configure monitoring alerts. Save your configuration and document the network diagram for future maintenance.
