Note: Because this is an unmanaged switch, you cannot configure or manage it in NETGEAR Insight.
Sample connections
The switch prioritizes the PoE+ power that it supplies in ascending port order (from port 1 to port 16). If the aggregate power requirements of all attached power devices (PD) exceed the power budget of the switch, the PD on the highest-numbered port is disabled to make sure that the PDs that are connected to the higher-priority, lower-numbered ports are supported first.
The following tables describe the power adapter models that are compatible with the GS316P and GS316PP switches and their PoE classes and switch allocations:
Note: The listed total power budget is the maximum power limit for the switch. Many PDs require less than maximum power, so the aggregate power requirements are lower than the maximum, allowing all sixteen PoE ports to be active simultaneously.
Power adapters and total power budgets for the GS316P and GS316PP:
Power adapter model | Power adapter | Total power budget |
EPS90W | 90W | 76W |
EPS130W | 130W | 115W |
EPS200W | 200W | 183W |
PoE classes and switch allocations:
Device class | Standard | Class description | Minimum power allocated to the powered device | Range of power delivered to the powered 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 |
The switch can supply up to 30W PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) to each port, with a maximum PoE power budget of 76W total with a 90W power adapter, a 115W total with a 130W power adapter and a 183W total with a 200W power adapter across all active PoE+ ports.
The PoE Max LED indicates the status of the PoE budget on the switch:
Solid yellow. Less than 7W of PoE power is available on the switch. | |
Blinking yellow. The PoE Max LED was lit solid in the previous two minutes. | |
Sufficient (more than 7W of) PoE power is available on the switch (the LED is off). |
The following table describes the network cables that you can use for the switch connections and the speeds that thesse cables can support, up to 328 feet (100 meters).
Speed | Cable Type |
100 Mbps | Category 5 (Cat 5) or higher |
1 Gbps | Category 5e (Cat 5e) or higher |
To attach the switch to a wall, you need the wall-mount screws that are supplied with the switch.
To attach the switch to a wall:
You can move the slider on the back of the switch to increase or decrease the PoE budget. You can increase the PoE budget if you buy a higher wattage power supply. You also can move the slider to a PoE budget that is lower than the power supply wattage. This reduces your switch's power consumption. However, we recommend using the slider setting that matches your power supply.
Here are some tips for correcting PoE problems that might occur:
PoE Fault Condition | Possible Solution |
A PoE-related short circuit occurred on the port | 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 power demand of the PD exceeded the maximum level that the switch permits, which is 30.9W. | |
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. |
