SFP GBIC Module
The four module bays accommodate standard SFP GBIC modules, such as the AGM731F or AGM732F from NETGEAR, allowing you to have fiber
connections on your network. The module bays are combo ports, sharing a connection with the last four RJ-45 ports, port 45T, 46T, 47T, and 48T.
Being a combo port, only one type of connection can be active at any given time. For example, both port 45T and 45F cannot be used at the same
time. If both connectors are plugged in at the same time, the fiber port (45F) will be active.
The SFP GBIC bay accommodates a standard SFP GBIC module, which has an LC connector that is compatible with the IEEE 802.3Z 1000 Base-
SX Standard.

Reset Button
The GS748T has a Reset Button to trigger a hardware reset of the switch. This is equivalent to turning the power off and back on. The last saved
configuration will be loaded onto the switch as it resets. To press the Reset Button, insert a small device such as a paper clip into the opening to
press the recessed button. The LEDs on the switch should go out and then come back on as the switch goes through its Power On Self Test
(POST).
