Register the Switch

1. From a computer or mobile device that is connected to the Internet, visit my.netgear.com.

2. Log in to your NETGEAR account.
   Note: If you don’t have a free NETGEAR account, you can create one. 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

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.

Connect to Power And Check the LEDs

When you connect the power adapter to the switch and plug the power cable into an electrical outlet, the LEDs indicate the status. Models GS305Pv2 and GS305PP provide PoE+ or PoE power on ports 1–4 up to 30W PoE to each port, with a PoE power budget of 63W and 83W respective to each model across all active PoE ports.

PoE Considerations

The PoE and PoE+ power supplied by the switch is prioritized in ascending port order (from port 1 to port 4), with a total power budget of 63W for the GS305Pv2, and 83W for the GS305PP switch. If the power requirements for the attached powered devices (PDs) exceed the total power budget of the switch, the PD on the highest-numbered port is disabled to make sure that the PDs that are connected to the higher-priority, lower-numbered ports are supported first.

PoE Troubleshooting

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

• If the PoE Max LED is yellow, disconnect one or more PoE devices to prevent PoE oversubscription. Start by disconnecting the device from the highest-numbered port.
• For each powered device (PD) that is connected to the switch, the associated right port LED on the switch lights solid green. If the right port LED lights yellow, a PoE fault occurred because of one of the conditions listed in the following table.
  

Mount the Switch on a Wall

We recommend that you use the wall-mount screws that came with the switch.

1. Locate the two mounting holes on the bottom panel of the switch.
2. Mark and drill two mounting holes in the wall.
3. The two mounting holes must be 1.53 in. (38.9 mm) apart, center-to-center. 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 4.2 mm in diameter, 25 mm in length.
