-
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.
-
Tap GO.
The switch is registered and added to your account. You can now view the switch in the NETGEAR Insight app.
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 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 cord to the switch and plug it into an electrical outlet, the LEDs indicate the status.
| LED | Description |
|---|---|
| Power |
Off. Power is not supplied to the switch.
PoE Max
(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. 1000 Mbps link on this port.
Blinking green. 1000 Mbps activity on this port.
Solid yellow. 100 Mbps or 10 Mbps link on this port.
Blinking yellow. 100 Mbps or 10 Mbps 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.
PoE considerations
The PoE and PoE+ power supplied by the switch is prioritized in ascending port
order: Ports 1–8 support PoE and PoE+ with a total power budget of 62W for the
GS308EP and 123W for the GS308EPP.
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 connected to the higher priority, lower-
numbered ports are supported first.
A PD listed as an 802.3at PoE-powered device does not necessarily require the
maximum power limit of the specification. Many PDs require less power,
potentially allowing more 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| Standard| Class Description| Power Reserved by the Device| Power
Delivered to the Device
---|---|---|---|---
0| PoE and PoE+| Default power (full)| 0.44W| 0.44W–12.95W
1| PoE and PoE+| Very low power| 4.0W| 0.44W–3.84W
2| PoE and PoE+| Low power| 7.0W| 3.84W–6.49W
3| PoE and PoE+| Mid power| 15.4W| 6.49W–12.95W
4| PoE+ only| High power| 30.0W| 12.95W–25.5W
If a device receives insufficient PoE power from the switch, consider using a shorter cable.
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 | Possible Solution |
|---|
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 and 30W 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.
Mount the switch on a wall
We recommend that you use the wall-mount screws that came with the switch.
-
Locate the two mounting holes on the bottom panel of the switch.
-
Mark and drill two mounting holes in the wall where you want to mount the switch.
The two mounting holes must be 2.95 in. (75 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 6.5 mm in diameter, 16 mm in length.
