1. Connect 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 Gigabit connections.
2. Connect an RJ-45 port or SFP port on the switch to a network that includes a
DHCP server.
Note: In a small office or home office network, connect the switch to the LAN
port of a router that is connected to a modem.
If you use an SFP port, you must insert an SFP transceiver module, which you
can purchase from NETGEAR.
3. Power on the switch and wait two minutes.
If you connected the switch to a network with a DHCP server such as a router,
the switch is automatically assigned a new IP address. (The default switch IP
address is 192.168.0.239.)
Check the PoE status
The switch can supply up to 30W PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) to each port. The maximum
PoE power budget across all active PoE+ ports is 190W for model GS724TPv2,
and 380W for hi-power model GS724TPP.
The PoE Max LED indicates the status of the PoE budget on the switch:
• Off. Sufficient. More than 7W of PoE power is available.
Sample connections
• 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.
Register with the NETGEAR Insight app
Network Internet
You can use the NETGEAR Insight app to register the switch.
Note: If the switch is connected to a WiFi router or access point and to the
Internet and you connect your smartphone to the same WiFi network as the
switch, you can use the NETGEAR Insight app to both discover the IP address of
the switch in your network and register the switch with NETGEAR.
1. On your mobile device, visit the app store, search for NETGEAR Insight, and
download the latest version of the app.
2. Open the NETGEAR Insight app.
3. If you did not set up a NETGEAR account, tap Create NETGEAR Account and
follow the onscreen instructions.
4. Enter the email address and password for your account and tap LOG IN.
Note: If your switch and smartphone are connected to the same network,
after you log in to your account, the IP address of the switch displays in the
devices list. Then, in the devices list, select the switch, tap the ADD DEVICE
button, and continue with Step 7.
However, if the switch does not display in the devices list, tap + in the upper-
right corner, and either tap Scan Network or continue with Step 6.
5. Tap + in the upper right corner.
6. Either use the camera on your smartphone to scan the bar code or QR code,
or type in the serial number. Then, follow the onscreen instructions.
7. Create or select a network location to add this device to.
8. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the registration of the switch.
Note: To complete the registration process and unlock full access to the local
browser–based management interface, your switch must be connected to a network
with Internet access. Or, you can enter the registration key on the login screen of the
local browser interface. For more information, see the following sections.
