AV Line Managed
Switches
The NETGEAR AV Line M4250 series was designed with
input from AV Professionals. The result is a line of switches
built from the ground up to support 1Gb audio and video
over IP with customized hardware and software along
with dedicated service and support.
Target Application
A new AV Line of M4250 switches with out-of-the-box functionality and an industry-rst: a concurrent second user interface solely designed with
the AV Pro in mind.
NETGEAR has enhanced the experience for AV professionals by including a new user interface designed from the ground up. Pro AV customers
don’t have to settle for an IT-centric interface with settings and IT-specic functionality they will never need. The new M4250 AV interface presents
the common AV controls right up front with user-selectable proles for common AV platforms making it a snap to ensure the settings are correct
for a specic audio or video application.
M4250 Series Features
The NETGEAR AV Line M4250 series was designed with input from AV Professionals. The result is a line of switches built from the ground up to support 1Gb audio and video over IP
with customized hardware and software along with dedicated service and support.
NETGEAR M4250 series key features:
• Ranges from 8 to 16 ports with a variety of PoE+ and
Ultra90 PoE++ options for 15.4W, 30W, 60W, 75W and
90W AVoIP endpoints
• Uplink options include 1G for audio installations or
standalone video installations as well as 10G uplinks
for larger scale video deployments
• Also includes 12-port multi-gigabit Ethernet and
16-port 1G/10G ber models for plug and play
aggregation in a star topology
• Designed for a clean integration with traditional rack mounted, AV equipment
• The M4250 switches come with a sleek, black
display panel with status in front and all cabling plus
additional status in the back
• Reversed mounting is possible when ports are desired
on the front of the rack
• A second pair of rackmount ears allows the switches to
be mounted recessed by 2-inches to allow for the
cabling
• Software-controlled fan adjustments enable the fans
to be turned off when ambient temperature and PoE
loads are appropriate for a totally fanless operation
NETGEAR M4250 series AV software features:
• Pre-congured for audio and video over IP out of the
box, the M4250 switches enable encoders and
decoders to be connected with zero conguration
• When more conguration is required, an AV web-
based GUI is available at the switch IP address:8080
• This interface has been specially designed for AV
installers with specic AV-related controls made more
accessible and with port-based proles
• For audio, proles for Dante, Q-SYS and AES67 are
built-in, as well as an AVB prole (AVB license sold
separately)
• For video, the M4250 offers proles for NVX, SVSI,
Q-SYS, NDI, Kramer KDS, Aurora Multimedia, ZeeVee,
Atlona, Dante and SDVoE
• Other AV CODECs and manufactures are supported as
well as audio/video/control mixed proles
• To further simplify star deployments, NETGEAR IGMP
™
Plus

networks, IoT and IPTV
• Additional features include static, RIP and PIM-SM, DM
and SSM multicast routing, DHCP Server and PTPv2
Transparent Clock (1-step E2E)
• AVB is the only feature requiring a license, all other
advanced features are available license-free
• Advanced classier-based, time- based hardware
implementation for L2 (MAC), L3 (IP) and L4 (UDP/TCP
transport ports) security and prioritization
• SelectablePort-Channel / LAG (802.3ad - 802.1AX) L2/
L3/L4 hashing for fault tolerance and load sharing with
any type of Ethernet channeling
• Voice VLAN with SIP, H323 and SCCP protocols
detection and LLDP-MED IP phones automatic QoS
and VLAN conguration
• Efcient authentication tiering with successive DOT1X,
MAB and Captive Portal methods for streamlined BYOD
• Threaded holes on the bottom (4xM5 for 50x100mm
VESA) and in front (1xM10 for clamps) allow for
universal mounting options outside the rack as well
M4250 Series Features
