Overview
Model GS110TUP provides eight 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 copper ports. Ports 1–4
support PoE++ and ports 5–8 support PoE+.
Model GS710TUP provides eight 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 copper PoE++ ports (1–8).
Both models provide one RJ-45 copper uplink port (9). All RJ-45 copper ports support
nonstop 10/100/1000M Layer 2 networks. In addition, both models provide one SFP
uplink port (10), which can accept a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) gigabit interface
converter (GBIC) for 1G fiber connectivity. Both uplink ports (9 and 10) are intended for
a network connection and, therefore, do not provide PoE.
You can use the switch to connect PoE++, PoE+, PoE, and non-PoE devices.
Note: For information about application samples, see Applications on page 20.
You can install the switch freestanding or rack mounted in a wiring closet or equipment
room. The switch is IEEE compliant and offers low latency. All ports can automatically
negotiate to the highest speed, which makes the switch very suitable for a mixed
environment with Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet.
Use Category 5e (Cat 5e) or higher-rated Ethernet cables terminated with RJ-45
connectors to make Gigabit connections.

Management options
The switch provides management options that let you discover the switch on the network
and configure, monitor, and control the switch:
•Local browser user interface (UI). By default, the management mode of the switch
is set to Directly Connect to Web Browser Interface, which lets you access the local
browser UI. In this mode, you can change all settings of the switch.
For more information about the local browser UI, see the user manual, which you
can download from netgear.com/support/download/.
Note: If you plan to use the NETGEAR Insight app or Insight Cloud portal to manage
the switch, we recommend that you do not use the local browser UI to change settings
that are Insight manageable because they would not be synchronized with Insight
or to the network location and other devices to which you assigned the switch.
•NETGEAR Insight app and Insight Cloud portal. If you set the management mode
of the switch to NETGEAR Insight Mobile App and Insight Cloud Portal, you can use
the following applications to manage the switch remotely:
-NETGEAR Insight app. With the NETGEAR Insight app, you can discover the
switch on the network and add the switch to the NETGEAR Insight app so that
you can set up the switch in the network and manage and monitor the switch
remotely from your smartphone or tablet. You can choose from four methods to
add the switch to the NETGEAR Insight app: You can scan your network for the
switch, scan the QR code or the barcode of the switch, or add the serial number
of the switch.
-Insight Cloud portal. As an Insight Premium or Insight Pro subscriber, you can
use the NETGEAR Insight Cloud portal to set up the switch in the network, perform
advanced remote setup, configuration, and management, monitor the switch,
analyze the switch and network usage, and, if necessary, troubleshoot the switch
and the network.
For more information about NETGEAR Insight, visit netgear.com/insight and see the
NETGEAR knowledge base articles at netgear.com/support.
By default, the management mode is set to Directly Connect to Web Browser Interface
(which is the same as the local browser UI). Note the following about changing the
management mode:
•Changing to NETGEAR Insight Mobile App and Insight Cloud Portal mode. The
first time that you change to this mode, the switch is set to factory default settings
so that you can manage the switch using the Insight app or the Insight Cloud portal.
However, if you added the switch to a network on the Insight app or Insight portal
Hardware Installation Guide8Introduction
10-Port Gigabit Ethernet Ultra60 PoE++ Smart Managed Pro Desktop and Rackmount Switches

before, all Insight-manageable device settings are returned to the last configuration
saved on the cloud server, including the switch password (that is, the password is
reset to the Insight network password).
Note: If you use the NETGEAR Insight app or the Insight Cloud portal, you can
temporarily change the management mode of the switch back to Directly Connect
to Web Browser Interface and access the local browser UI for settings that are not
Insight-manageable, for complex tasks such as integrating with an existing network
of devices that are not managed through Insight, and for debugging purposes.
When you are done, you can change the management mode back to NETGEAR
Insight Mobile App and Insight Cloud Portal.
•Changing back to Directly Connect to Web Browser Interface mode. The
NETGEAR Insight Mobile App and Insight Cloud Portal management mode is disabled
and the current Insight-manageable device settings are saved to the cloud server.
Any changes that you make using the Directly Connect to Web Browser Interface
management mode are not saved to the cloud server.

Switch hardware interfaces
The following sections describe the hardware interfaces on the switch.
RJ-45 ports for 10/100/1000M BASE-T Ethernet connectivity
All RJ-45 copper ports support autosensing. When you insert a cable into an RJ-45 port,
the switch automatically ascertains the maximum speed (10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1 Gbps)
and duplex mode (half-duplex or full-duplex) of the attached device. All ports support
a Cat 5e cable (or higher-rated Ethernet cable) terminated with an 8-pin RJ-45 connector.
To simplify the procedure for attaching devices, all RJ-45 ports support Auto Uplink
technology. This technology allows attaching devices to the RJ-45 ports with either
straight-through or crossover cables.
Hardware Installation Guide17Hardware Overview
10-Port Gigabit Ethernet Ultra60 PoE++ Smart Managed Pro Desktop and Rackmount Switches

When you insert a cable into the switch’s RJ-45 port, the switch automatically performs
the following actions:
•Senses whether the cable is a straight-through or crossover cable.
•Determines whether the link to the attached device requires a normal connection
(such as when you are connecting the port to a computer) or an uplink connection
(such as when you are connecting the port to a router, switch, or hub).
•Automatically configures the RJ-45 port to enable communications with the attached
device. The Auto Uplink technology compensates for setting uplink connections
while eliminating concern about whether to use crossover or straight-through cables
when you attach devices.
On model GS110TUP, RJ-45 copper ports 1–4 support PoE++ and RJ-45 copper ports
5–8 support PoE+.
On model GS710TUP, RJ-45 copper ports 1–8 support PoE++.
SFP uplink port for fiber connectivity
To enable a fiber connection, an SFP fiber uplink port accommodates a standard small
