Other Discovery and Conguration Methods

The NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool and the Smart Control Center Utility let you

discover the IP address and congure the switch.

• NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool. You can use a Mac or a 64-bit Windows- based computer that is on the same network as the switch. You can use a WiFi or wired connection. When you discover the switch, this tool provides access to the local browser interface to congure the switch. To download the NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool, visit

www.netgear.com/support/product/netgear-switch-discovery-tool.aspx.

• Smart Control Center Utility. You can use a Windows-based computer that is on the same network as the switch. This utility requires Adobe Air. If Adobe Air is not detected during Smart Control Center Utility installation, you are prompted to allow Adobe Air to be installed. To download this utility, visit

www.netgear.com/support/product/SCC.

Note: If you cannot discover or congure the switch, you might need to

temporarily disable the rewall, Internet security, or antivirus programs. Make sure to reenable these security services after you discover and congure the

switch.

PoE Considerations

The PoE and PoE+ power supplied by the GS324TP switch is prioritized in ascending port order (from port 1 to port 24), with a total power budget of 190 watts. If the power requirements for the attached powered devices (PDs) exceed the total 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 rst.

The following table describes the PoE classes and switch allocations.

Device Class

0 PoE and PoE+ Default power

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

* Calculated with the maximum cable length of 328 feet (100 meters). Shorter cable lengths will provide power closer to the power reserved by the switch.
