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 Your Registered Products page displays.

3. Click the REGISTER NEW PRODUCT button.

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 PURCHASE DATE menus, 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:

Mount the switch on a wall

We recommend that you use the wall-mount screws that are included. The screws are 0.25 in. (6.5 mm) in diameter, 0.63 in. (16 mm) in length.

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 3.95 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 0.15 in. (4 mm) of each screw protruding from the wall so that you can insert the screws into the holes on the bottom panel.

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:

PoE Fault Condition                                   ****

• A PoE-related short circuit occurred on the port.
• 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.
