Your settings are saved.
Connect the Switch to a Network
1. Connect PoE (or non-PoE) devices to the RJ-45 PoE network ports on the
switch front panel.
Use Category 5e (Cat 5e) Ethernet cables terminated with RJ-45
connectors to make 1-Gigabit connections.
2. Connect an RJ-45 port or SFP port on the switch to a network that
includes a DHCP server.
If you use an SFP port, you must insert an SFP transceiver module that you
can purchase from NETGEAR.
3. Power on the switch and wait two minutes.

• Solid amber. Less than 7W of PoE power is available.
• Blinking amber. At least once during the previous two minutes, less than
7W of PoE power was available.

You can configure the switch either by using a computer’s web browser or by
installing the Smart Control Center Utility (see Smart Control Center Utility) on
your Windows-based computer.
Web Browser Access

Configure the Switch With the Smart Control Center
Utility
1. Connect the computer to the network.
The computer that is running the Smart Control Center Utility must be
on the same network (with same broadcast domain) as the switch.
2. Double-click the Smart Control Center icon.
The Smart Control Center displays.
3. Click the Discover button.
The Smart Control Center Utility finds Smart Managed Switches on the
network and displays each switch’s MAC address, IP address, and model
number.
If the utility does not discover your switch, verify that the cable
connections are secure and that the computer’s IP address is in the same
subnet as the switch, and click the Discover button.
You might need to temporarily turn o the antivirus program, firewall, or
both on the computer so that the utility can discover the switch.
4. Select the switch that you want to configure.
5. Click the Web Browser Access button.
6. When prompted, enter the password.
The default password is password.
7. Click the Login button.
The System Information page displays.
8. Configure the switch for your network.
For information about switch configuration, see the user manual for your
switch, which you can download from downloadcenter.netgear.com.
9. When you are finished with the configuration, return the computer’s
antivirus program and firewall to their usual settings.
Troubleshooting Tips
Here are some tips for correcting simple problems that might occur:
• Be sure to power on your computer and switch in the following sequence:
1. Turn on the switch and wait two minutes.
2. Turn on the computer and connect it to the switch.
• Make sure that the network settings for the computer or device are
correct. You might need to temporarily turn o the antivirus program,
firewall, or both on the computer so that the utility can discover the switch.
• To use the Smart Control Center Utility, you must configure your
computer’s security soware to allow broadcast UDP packets to go through
to the destination IP address of 255.255.255.255. The Smart Control
Center Utility uses UDP source and destination ports 63323 and 63324.
• Make sure that the Ethernet cables are plugged in correctly. For each PoE
device connected to the switch, the corresponding right port LED on the
switch lights solid green. If the right port LED lights solid amber, a PoE fault
occurred.
• Make sure that the PoE Max LED is o. If the PoE Max LED is solid amber,
disconnect one or more PoE devices to prevent PoE oversubscription.
