Sample connections
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 ofce or home ofce network, connect the switch to the LAN
port of a router that is connected to a modem.
To 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 GS728TPv2
switch and 380W for model GS728TPPv2.
Register with the NETGEAR Insight app
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

PoE considerations
The PoE and PoE+ power supplied by the switch is prioritized in ascending port
order (from port 1 to port 24), with a total power budget of 190W for model
GS728TPv2 and 380W for model GS728TPPv2. The following table shows the
standard power ranges, calculated with the maximum cable length of 328 feet
(100 meters). If a device receives insufcient PoE power from the switch, consider
using a shorter cable.
