Overview
The switch provides eight Gigabit Ethernet multispeed copper ports and two dedicated
SFP+ fiber uplink ports that support 10G and 1G. Four of the multispeed copper ports
support both 1G and 2.5G and each of the other four multispeed copper ports supports
1G, 2.5G, 5G, and 10G. All copper ports use RJ-45 connectors.
The SFP+ ports require standard small form-factor pluggable (SFP) gigabit interface
converters (GBICs, also referred to as a transceiver modules), which are sold separately
from the switch. The switch integrates 140 Gbps line-rate, full-duplex, nonblocking
switch fabric.
The PoE model supports Ultra60 PoE++ (802.3bt) on all copper ports (that is, up to 60W
PoE++ to each port) with a maximum PoE power budget of 295W across all active PoE++
ports.
Note: For information about application examples, see Applications on page 21.
You can install the switch freestanding or rack mounted in a wiring closet or equipment
room. The switch is IEEE compliant and offers low latency. All ports can automatically
negotiate to the highest speed, which makes the switch very suitable for a mixed
environment with multispeed Gigabit Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and Fast Ethernet.
For speeds of 10 Gbps, use Category 6 (Cat 6) cables terminated with RJ-45 connectors;
for speeds from 5 Gbps to 10 Gbps, use Cat 5e cables terminated with RJ-45 connectors;
and for speeds from 10 Mbps to 5 Gbps, including 2.5 Gbps, use Cat 5e or higher-rated
Ethernet cables terminated with RJ-45 connectors.

Switch hardware interfaces
The following sections describe the hardware interfaces on the switch.
RJ-45 ports for 100/1000M and 2.5G/5G/10G BASE-T
Ethernet connectivity
All RJ-45 copper ports support autosensing. When you insert a cable into an RJ-45 port,
the switch automatically ascertains the maximum speed. Depending on the port, the
switch can autodetect 100 Mbps or 1 Gbps and duplex mode (half-duplex or full-duplex),
or 2.5 Gbps, 5 Gbps, or 10 Gbps of the attached device. All ports support Ethernet
cables that are terminated with 8-pin RJ-45 connectors.
Use Category 5e (Cat 5e) Ethernet cables terminated with RJ-45 connectors to make
1G, 2.5G, and 5G connections. For 10G connections, use Cat 6a or higher-rated Ethernet
cables terminated with RJ-45 connectors.
Table 5. Network cables and supported speeds
Supported SpeedsCable Type
Speeds from 1 Gbps to 5 GbpsCategory 5e (Cat 5e)
Speeds of 10 Gbps and higher speedsCategory 6e (Cat 6e)
To simplify the procedure for attaching devices, all RJ-45 ports support Auto Uplink
technology. This technology allows attaching devices to the RJ-45 ports with either
straight-through or crossover cables.
When you insert a cable into the switch’s RJ-45 port, the switch automatically performs
the following actions:
•Senses whether the cable is a straight-through or crossover cable.
•Determines whether the link to the attached device requires a normal connection
(such as when you are connecting the port to a computer) or an uplink connection
(such as when you are connecting the port to a router, switch, or hub).
•Automatically configures the RJ-45 port to enable communications with the attached
device. The Auto Uplink technology compensates for setting uplink connections
while eliminating concern about whether to use crossover or straight-through cables
when you attach devices.
For model MS510TXUP, all copper ports (1 through 8) also support PoE++ (up to 60W
per port).

Transceiver modules and cables for SFP+ fiber ports
To enable fiber connections on the switch, SFP+ fiber ports accommodate standard
small form-factor pluggable (SFP) gigabit interface converters (GBICs, also referred to
as transceiver modules) and direct attach cables (DACs) for fiber connectivity. GBICs
and DACs are sold separately from the switch.
The switch supports the following NETGEAR SFP and SFP+ transceiver modules and
cables:
•Short-reach fiber transceiver modules:
-AGM731F: SFP transceiver 1000BASE-SX, SFP multimode LC GBIC
•Long-reach fiber transceiver modules:
-AGM732F: SFP transceiver 1000BASE-LX, SFP single mode LC GBIC
-AXM761: SFP+ transceiver 10GBASE-SR, SFP+ multimode LC GBIC
-AXM762: SFP+ transceiver 10GBASE-LR, SFP+ single mode LC GBIC
-AXM764: SFP+ transceiver 10GBASE-LR Lite, SFP+ single mode LC GBIC
•Gigabit transceiver modules:
-AGM734: SFP transceiver 1000BASE-T, SFP copper RJ-45 GBIC
•Direct attach cables:
-AXC761: SFP+ 1 m (about 3.3 ft) direct attach cable
-AXC763: SFP+ 3 m (about 10 ft) direct attach cable

Multi-function Reset button
The switch provides a recessed, multi-function Reset button on the front panel.
Depending on how long you press the button (for details, see the following procedure),
this button lets you perform the following tasks:
•Restart (power-cycle) the switch: The switch restarts. All saved settings are retained.
We recommend that you save the settings before you press the Reset button to
restart the switch.

•Reset the switch to factory default settings but maintain the registration status:
All settings are erased and the switch restarts with factory default settings. The
NETGEAR registration status is maintained and not reset.
•Reset the switch to factory default settings and reset the registration status:
This option can be useful if you want to register the switch under a different name
or account. This option requires you to first contact NETGEAR support at
netgear.com/support so that the NETGEAR registration status on the NETGEAR
server can be reset. Then, you can use this option to erase all settings, reset the
switch to factory defaults, go through the initial log-in process again, and reregister
the switch with NETGEAR.
To restart or reset the switch using the Reset button:
1. Insert a tool such as a straightened paper clip into the opening.
2. Do one of the following:
•Restart the switch: Press the Reset button for less than 5 seconds. (Do not press
the button for more than 5 seconds!)
•Reset the switch to factory default settings but maintain the registration
status: Press the Reset button for more than 5 seconds but less than 10 seconds.
(Do not press the button for more than 10 seconds!)
•Reset the switch to factory default settings and reset the registration status:
Press the Reset button for more than 10 seconds.
During the restart or reset process, the Power LED lights yellow.
PoE port capacities and budget for model MS510TXUP
Model MS510TXUP supports eight Ultra60 PoE++ copper ports with the port capacities
that are described in the following table. The maximum PoE power budget for the switch
is 295W across all active PoE++ ports.
Supplied power is prioritized according to the port order, up to the total power budget
of the switch. Port 1 receives the highest PoE priority, while port 8 is relegated to the
lowest PoE priority.
If the power requirements for attached powered devices (PDs) exceed the total power
budget of the switch, the PoE power to the device on the highest-numbered active PoE
port is disabled to make sure that the devices connected to the higher-priority,
lower-numbered PoE ports are supported first.
Although a device might be listed as an 802.3bt PoE++-powered or 802.3at
PoE+-powered device, it might not require the maximum power limit that is specified
by its IEEE standard. Many devices require less power, allowing all 8 PoE ports to be
active simultaneously when the devices correctly report their PoE class to the switch.
