NETGEAR GS516UP Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Ultra60 PoE++ Switch Installation Guide

NETGEAR GS516UP Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Ultra60 PoE++ Switch

• 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Ultra60 PoE++ Switch, Model GS516UP
• 24-Port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Ultra60 PoE++ Switch, Model GS524UP

Package contents

• Switch model GS516UP or GS524UP
• Power cord (varies by region)
• Rack-mount kit
• Four rubber feet
• Installation guide and Insight flyer
• 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 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.

Register with the NETGEAR Insight app

1. Search for NETGEAR Insight and download the latest app.
2. Set up a NETGEAR account if you do not have one.
3. Tap the menu in the upper-left corner.
4. Tap REGISTER ANY NETGEAR DEVICE.
5.  Enter the serial number located on the bottom of the switch, or use the camera on your mobile device to scan the serial number bar code.
6. Tap GO.
   • The switch is registered and added to your account. You can now view the switch in the NETGEAR Insight app.
   • Note: Because this is an unmanaged switch, you cannot configure or manage it in NETGEAR Insight.

Connect the switch

Sample connections

• Model GS516UP provides PoE++ (802.3bt) power on ports 1–8 with up to 60W to each port and PoE+ (802.3at) power on ports 9–16 with up to 30W to each port. The total PoE power budget for the switch is 380W across all active PoE ports.
• Model GS524UP provides PoE++ (802.3bt) power on ports 1–16 with up to 60W to each port and PoE+ (802.3at) power on ports 17–24 with up to 30W to each port. The total PoE power budget for the switch is 480W across all active PoE ports.

Check the LEDs

When you connect the power cord to the switch and plug it into an electrical outlet, the LEDs indicate the status.

PoE mode

The DIP switches on the front panel let you select the following PoE++ modes:

• 802.3bt mode. The mode for devices that are fully compliant with IEEE 802.3bt (PoE++). This is the default mode for all PoE++ ports.
• pre-802.3bt   mode. The mode for devices that can receive power higher than 30W but that are not fully compliant with IEEE 802.3bt (PoE++).

PoE++ Mode| DIP Switch Position| Ports 1–4| Ports 5–8| Ports 9–12 (GS524UP Only)| Ports 13–16 (GS524UP Only)
---|---|---|---|---|---
802.3bt| Up| Default| Default| Default| Default
pre-802.3bt| Down| Optional| Optional| Optional| Optional

• For information about which mode to select, consult the documentation that came with the powered device (PD). If you are not sure, keep the default mode. However, if the PD does not power up, set the DIP switch to the pre-802.3bt mode.

PoE considerations

• The PoE power that the switch supplies to powered devices (PDs) is prioritized in ascending port order.
• If the power requirements for the attached PDs exceed the total power budget of the switch, the PD on the highest-numbered port is disabled to make sure that the PDs connected to the higher-priority, lower-numbered ports are supported first.
• A PD listed as an 802.3bt PoE++ powered device does not necessarily require the maximum power limit of the specification.
• Many PDs require less power, potentially allowing all PoE++ and PoE+ ports to be active simultaneously.
• The following table shows the standard power ranges calculated with the maximum cable length of 328 feet (100 meters).

Device Class| Compatible PoE standard| Class Description| Maximum Power Supplied by the Switch| Power Delivered to the PD
---|---|---|---|---
0| PoE, PoE+, and PoE++| Default power (full)| 0.44W| 0.44W–12.95W
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–12.95W
4| PoE+ and PoE++| High power| 30.0W| 12.95W–25.5W
5–6| PoE++ only| Ultra power| 45.0W| 25.5W–51W

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 occurs and the PoE is halted because of one of the conditions listed in the following table.

Mount the switch in a rack

We recommend that you use the brackets and screws that came with the switch.

1. Attach the supplied mounting brackets to the side of the switch.
2. Insert the supplied small screws through each bracket and into the bracket mounting holes in the switch.
3. Tighten the screws with a No. 1 Phillips screwdriver to secure each bracket.
4. Align the mounting holes in the brackets with the holes in the rack, and insert the provided pan-head screws (you can choose among two types of pan-head screws) with nylon washers through each bracket and into the rack.
5. Tighten the screws with a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver to secure mounting brackets to the rack.
