Safety Instructions and Warnings
Use the following safety guidelines to ensure your own personal safety and to help
protect your system from potential damage.
To reduce the risk of bodily injury, electrical shock, fire, and damage to the equipment,
observe the following precautions:
•This product is designed for indoor use only in a temperature-controlled and
humidity-controlled environment. For more information, see the environmental
specifications in the appendix or the data sheet.
Any device that is located outdoors and connected to this product must be properly
grounded and surge protected.
Failure to follow these guidelines can result in damage to your NETGEAR product,
which might not be covered by NETGEAR’s warranty, to the extent permissible by
applicable law.
•Observe and follow service markings:
- Do not service any product except as explained in your system documentation.
Some devices should never be opened.
-If applicable to your device, opening or removing covers that are marked with
the triangular symbol with a lightning bolt can expose you to electrical shock.
User Manual7Get Started
Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Plus Switches

We recommend that only a trained technician services components inside these
compartments.
•If any of the following conditions occur, unplug the product from the electrical outlet
and replace the part or contact your trained service provider:
- Depending on your device, the power adapter, power adapter cable, power
cable, extension cable, or plug is damaged.
-An object fell into the product.
- The product was exposed to water.
- The product was dropped or damaged.
-The product does not operate correctly when you follow the operating
instructions.
•Keep your system away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do not block cooling
vents.
•Do not spill food or liquids on your system components, and never operate the
product in a wet environment. If the system gets wet, see the appropriate section in
your troubleshooting guide, or contact your trained service provider.
•Do not push any objects into the openings of your system. Doing so can cause fire
or electric shock by shorting out interior components.
•Use the product only with approved equipment.
•If applicable to your device, allow the product to cool before removing covers or
touching internal components.
•Operate the product only from the type of external power source indicated on the
electrical ratings label. If you are not sure of the type of power source required,
consult your service provider or local power company.
•To avoid damaging your system, if your device uses a power supply with a voltage
selector, be sure that the selector is set to match the power at your location:
-115V, 60 Hz in most of North and South America and some Far Eastern countries
such as South Korea and Taiwan
- 100V, 50 Hz in eastern Japan and 100V, 60 Hz in western Japan
-230V, 50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East
•Be sure that attached devices are electrically rated to operate with the power available
in your location.
•Depending on your device, use only a supplied power adapter or approved power
cable:
User Manual8Get Started
Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Plus Switches

If your device uses a power adapter:
-If you were not provided with a power adapter, contact your local NETGEAR
reseller.
-The power adapter must be rated for the product and for the voltage and current
marked on the product electrical ratings label.
If your device uses a power cable:
-If you were not provided with a power cable for your system or for any
AC-powered option intended for your system, purchase a power cable approved
for your country.
-The power cable must be rated for the product and for the voltage and current
marked on the product electrical ratings label. The voltage and current rating of
the cable must be greater than the ratings marked on the product.
•To help prevent electric shock, plug the system and peripheral power cables into
properly grounded electrical outlets.
•If applicable to your device, the peripheral power cables are equipped with
three-prong plugs to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or
remove the grounding prong from a cable. If you must use an extension cable, use
a three-wire cable with properly grounded plugs.
•Observe extension cable and power strip ratings. Make sure that the total ampere
rating of all products plugged into the extension cable or power strip does not
exceed 80 percent of the ampere ratings limit for the extension cable or power strip.
•To help protect your system from sudden, transient increases and decreases in
electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power
supply (UPS).
•Position system cables, power adapter cables, or power cables carefully. Route
cables so that they cannot be stepped on or tripped over. Be sure that nothing rests
on any cables.
•Do not modify power adapters, power adapter cables, power cables or plugs. Consult
a licensed electrician or your power company for site modifications.
•Always follow your local and national wiring rules.
Configure the Switch
Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Plus Switches are plug-and-play, so they can be used
without any configuration. Just connect power, connect to your network and to your
other devices, and you’re done.
User Manual9Get Started
Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Plus Switches

For easiest access, we recommend that you cable the switch to a network with a router
or DHCP server that assigns IP addresses and power on the switch. However, it is also
possible to configure the switch connected directly only to the computer that you are
using to configure it, and not connected to the network (off-network).
You can configure and manage advanced features of the switch either by using your
computer’s web browser and accessing the switch at its IP address or by installing the
ProSAFE®Plus Utility on your Windows-based computer.
If you use a Mac or a 64-bit Windows-based computer, you can use the NETGEAR Switch
Discovery Tool to discover the switch in your network and access the local browser–based
management interface of the switch.
You can also use the NETGEAR Insight mobile app on your smartphone to discover the
switch in your network.
For more information, see the following sections:
•Access the Switch Using a Web Browser on page 10
•Access the Switch With the ProSAFE Plus Utility on page 12
•Use the NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool to Access the Switch on page 15
•Use the NETGEAR Insight Mobile App to Discover the Switch on page 16
Access the Switch Using a Web Browser
This manual describes the local browser–based management interface, referred to as
the local browser interface.
You can access and configure the switch directly through its local browser interface by
entering the IP address of the switch in the address bar of a browser. When you use the
local browser interface, the simplest way to configure the switch is not connected to
your network (off-network). You can also configure the switch with it connected to your
network, router, or modem, (on-network) but you must be able to determine the IP
address of the switch if your network uses DHCP.
Access a Switch That Is Connected to a Network
By default, the DHCP client of the switch is enabled. To access the switch, use the IP
address that the DHCP server assigned to the switch.
To determine the IP address of the switch, do one of the following:
•If you use a Windows-based computer, use the ProSAFE® Plus Utility to detect the
IP address (see Access the Switch With the ProSAFE Plus Utility on page 12). You
can also access and configure the switch from the utility.
