Step 1. Connect the switch

Sample connections

1. Connect devices to the RJ-45 multi-gigabit ports (1–8) on the switch front panel.
   Ports 1–4 support PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt). Ports 5–8 support PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at).
   Use Category 5e (Cat 5e) or higher rated Ethernet cables terminated with RJ-45 connectors to make connections at 1G and 2.5G speed.

2. Connect one port on the switch to a network that includes a DHCP server such as a router.
   In a small office or home office network, connect the switch to the LAN port of a router that is connected to a modem, or to a gateway.

3. Power on the switch and wait two minutes.
   If you connected the switch to a network with a DHCP server, the switch is automatically assigned a new IP address.
   (The default switch IP address is 192.168.0.239.)

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.

Step 2. Check the PoE status

The switch can supply up to 60W PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt) to ports 1–4 and up to 30W PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) to port 5–8. The maximum PoE power budget across all active PoE ports is 230W.
The PoE Max LED at the left side of the front panel indicates the status of the PoE budget on the switch:

• 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.

For information about the system LEDs, port LEDs, and installation, see the hardware installation guide, which you can download by visiting www.netgear.com/support/download and entering your model number.

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.

The following 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
6–8| 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.

with the attached PD. Check the condition of the PD, restart the PD by disconnecting and reconnecting the PD, or try a shorter cable.
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 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. Check the condition of the PD, restart the PD by disconnecting and reconnecting the PD, or try a shorter cable.
