   The My Products page displays.

3. From the menu on the left, select Register a Product.

4. In the Serial Number field, type the serial number of your switch.
   The serial number is 13 digits long. It is printed on the switch label.

5. From the Date of Purchase menu, select the date that you purchased the switch.

6. Click the REGISTER button.
   Your switch is registered to your NETGEAR account.
   A confirmation email is sent to your NETGEAR account email address.

Connect the switch

NOTE: We recommend that you use a Category 5e (Cat 5e) cable or higher‑rated cable for Gigabit Ethernet connections.
This switch is designed for indoor use only. If you want to connect it to a device located outdoors, the outdoor device must be properly grounded and surge protected, and you must install an Ethernet surge protector inline between the  switch and the outdoor device. Failure to do so can damage the switch.
WARNING: Before connecting this switch to outdoor cables or devices, see https://kb.netgear.com/000057103 for safety and warranty information.

Check the LEDs

When you connect the power adapter to the switch and plug the cable into an electrical outlet, the LEDs indicate the status:

normally.
Off. Power is not supplied to the switch.
PoE Max LED (The status of the switch’s PoE budget.)| | Off: Sufficient (more than 7W of) PoE power is available.
Solid yellow: Less than 7W of PoE power is available.
Blinking yellow : At least once during the previous two minutes, less than 7W of PoE power was available.
Left Port LED| | Solid green: 2.5 Gaps link on this port.
Blinking green : 2.5 Gaps activity on this port.
Solid yellow: 1000 MPs or 100 MPs link on this port.
Blinking yellow: 1000 MPs or 100 MPs activity on this port.
Off. No link is detected on this port.
Right Port LED| | Solid Green: The port is delivering PoE power.
Off: The port is not delivering PoE power.
Solid yellow: A PoE fault occurred.

Discover the switch’s IP address and access the switch

The NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool (NSDT) lets you discover the switch in your network and access the local browser interface (UI) of the switch from a Mac, Windows‑based, or Linux‑based computer.
To install the NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool, discover the switch in your network, access the switch, and discover the switch IP address:

1. To download the tool, visit https://www.netgear.com/support/product/netgear‑switch‑discovery‑tool.aspx
   Download the Mac, Windows, or Linux version.

2. Temporarily disable the firewall, Internet security, antivirus programs, or all of these
   on the computer that you use to configure the switch.

3. Unzip the NSDT files, and click or double-click the executable file (for example, NDST‑1.2.103.exe) to install the program on your computer.
   You might see the tool icon appear on your Mac dock, Windows desktop, or Linux desktop.

4. Reenable the security services on your computer.

5. Power on the switch.

6. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.

7. Open the NSDT.
   The initial page displays a menu and a button.

8. From the Choose a Connection menu, select the network for this switch.

9. Click the Start Searching button.
   The NSDT displays the IP addresses of the switches that it discovers.

10. Click the ADMIN PAGE button.
    The login page or login window of the local browser user interface (UI) opens.

11. Enter the default password that is printed on the switch label.

12. If prompted, enter a new admin password for the switch.
    The Switch Information page displays, and shows the IP address assigned to the switch.

13. Save the password and IP address for future use.
    You can now configure and monitor your switch.

Mount the switch on a wall
We recommend that you use the wall‑mount screws that are included.

1. Locate the two mounting holes on the bottom panel of the switch.

2. Mark and drill two mounting holes in the wall where you want to mount the switch.
   The two mounting holes must be 3.937 in. (100 mm) apart, center‑to‑center.

3. Insert the supplied anchors into the wall and tighten the screws with a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver.
   Leave about 0.125 in. (4 mm) of each screw protruding from the wall so that you can insert the screws into the holes on the bottom panel.
   NOTE: The screws are 0.25 in. (6.5 mm) in diameter, 0.63 in. (16 mm) in length.

PoE considerations

PoE power supplied by the switch is prioritized in ascending port order (from port 1 to port 8). The switch can supply a total of 230W across all active PoE+ and PoE++ ports.

• Ports 1–4: Each port can supply up to 60W PoE++ (802.3bt) power.
• Ports 5–8: Each port can supply up to 30W PoE+ (802.3at) power.

This table shows the standard power ranges without overrides applied, calculated with the maximum cable length of 328 feet (100 meters). If a device receives insufficient PoE power from the switch, consider using a shorter cable.

Device class| Compatible PoE standard| Class description| Maximum
power supplied
by the switch| Power
delivered to
the device
---|---|---|---|---
0| PoE, PoE+, and PoE++| Default power (full)| 15.4W| 0.44W–13.0W
1| PoE, PoE+, and PoE++| Very low power| 4.0W| 0.44W–3.84W
2| PoE, PoE+, and PoE++| Low power| 7.0W| 3.84W–6.49W
3| PoE, PoE+, and PoE++| Mid power| 15.4W| 6.49W–13.0W
4| PoE+ and PoE++| High power| 30.0W| 13.0W–25.5W
5| PoE++| Ultra high power| 45.0W| 25.5W–40.0W
6| PoE++| Ultra high power| 60.0W| 40.0W–51.0W

PoE troubleshooting
Here are some tips for correcting PoE problems that might occur:

• If the PoE Max LED is solid yellow, disconnect one or more PoE devices to prevent PoE oversubscription.
• For each powered device (PD) that is connected to the switch, the associated PoE LED  on the switch lights solid green. If the PoE LED lights solid yellow, a PoE fault occurred and PoE halted because of one of the conditions listed in the following table:

The PoE power demand of the PD exceeded the maximum level that the  switch permits. The maximum level is 15.4W for a PoE connection, 30W  for a PoE+ connection, and 60W for a PoE++ connection.| The problem is most likely with the attached PD. Check the condition of the PD, or  restart the PD by disconnecting and reconnecting the PD.
The PoE current on the port exceeded the classification limit of the PD.|
The PoE voltage of the port is outside the range that the switch permits.| Restart the switch to see if the condition resolves itself.
