Connect the Switch to Your Network

During initial setup, you must connect the switch to a network that you can access with a local WiFi connection.

For Gigabit connections, use Category 5e (Cat 5e) or higher-rated Ethernet cables terminated with RJ-45 connectors.

To use an SFP port, you must insert a 1G SFP transceiver module, which is available from NETGEAR.

¾ To connect the switch:

1. Connect devices to the network ports on the switch.

2. Connect the switch to the network.

3. Power on the switch and wait for two or three minutes. The Power LED lights green, indicating that switch completed its

startup process and is available on the network.

The switch receives an IP address from a DHCP server (or a router that functions as a DHCP server) in your network. If your network does not include a DHCP server, the switch uses 192.168.0.239 as its default IP address.

4. To check the port connections from the switch to the powered-on devices that you connected, do the following:

• Make sure that the Ethernet cables are plugged in correctly.

• Check the le LED for each port on the switch.

The le port LED lights solid green to indicate a valid connection to a powered-on device and blinks green to indicate trac on this port.

Access the Switch for Conﬁguration

The NETGEAR Insight app lets you use your mobile device to discover, conﬁgure, manage, and monitor your switch. You can use this app to access the switch with a local WiFi connection or through the cloud.

Local WiFi access. During initial conﬁguration, you must use this method. The switch must be connected to a WiFi access point (because the switch does not provide WiFi capacity). Connect your mobile device to that access point’s WiFi network.

Cloud access. Aer initial conﬁguration, as long as your switch is on a network with an Internet connection, you can access the switch through the cloud.

Conﬁgure the Switch Using the NETGEAR Insight App

By default, the switch receives an IP address from a DHCP server (or a router that functions as a DHCP server) in your network. If your network does not include a DHCP server, the switch uses 192.168.0.239 as its default IP address. The NETGEAR Insight app lets you discover, conﬁgure, manage, and monitor your switch.

Note: You can also connect to the switch in the traditional way, using a computer and

a web browser. For more information, visit netgear.com/support/product/GC110 (or GC110P) and search for “Conﬁgure the switch using a web browser”.

¾ To conﬁgure the switch:

1. On your iOS or Android mobile device, go to the app store, search for NETGEAR Insight, and download the app.

(Continued on the next page)

2. If the switch is directly connected to a WiFi router or access point (see Step 4, Option 1, in Connect the Switch to Your Network), connect your mobile device to the WiFi network of the router or access point.

3. Open the NETGEAR Insight app.

4. Select LOG IN to log in to your existing NETGEAR account or tap the CREATE NETGEAR ACCOUNT button to create a new account.

5. Aer you log in to your account, name your network and specify a device admin password that applies to all devices that you add to this network.

When you are done, tap the NEXT button.

6. You can now add a device. Choose one of the following options:

• Type in the serial number.

• Scan the serial number bar code.

• Tap Switch as the device type and follow the prompts to scan the network or scan the QR code.

Note: Screens might display and suggest that you connect the switch to power

and to an uplink. Since you already did this (see Connect the Switch to Your

Network), on these screens, tap the NEXT button.

7. If the switch is not yet connected to the same WiFi network as your mobile device, connect it now to the same WiFi network, wait two minutes, and then tap the NEXT button.

8. Aer the switch is discovered and registered on the network, select the switch to conﬁgure and manage it through the NETGEAR Insight app.

Troubleshooting Tips

Here are some tips for correcting simple problems that might occur:

• If you cannot connect with the NETGEAR Insight app to the switch, make sure that your mobile device and the switch are connected to the same WiFi network.

• Make sure that the Ethernet cables are plugged in correctly and that for each powered-on device connected to the switch, the corresponding le port LED on the switch either lights solid green (indicating a valid connection) or blinks green (indicating that trac is being processed).

• For model GC110P only, make sure that the PoE Max LED is o. The switch provides a total power budget of 62 watts. If the PoE Max LED is solid amber, disconnect one or more powered devices (PDs) to prevent PoE oversubscription. Start by disconnecting the PD from the highest-numbered port.

Note: You can also access the web browser-based management interface of

the switch to manually override the amount of power that is reserved for each PoE port and attached PD. For more information, see the user manual, which you can download by visiting netgear.com/support/product/GC110P.

• For model GC110P only, for each powered PD that is connected to the switch, the corresponding le port LED on the switch either lights solid green (indicating a valid connection) or blinks green (indicating that trac is being processed), and the corresponding right port LED on the switch lights solid green (indicating that PoE is being delivered to the PD). If the right port LED lights solid amber, a PoE fault occurred. For more information, see the user manual, which you can download by visiting

netgear.com/support/product/GC110P.
