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 to use the Insight mobile app, or to the
Internet to use the Insight Cloud Portal.
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.
To use an SFP+ port, you must insert either a 10G SFP+ or 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 a 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 left LED for each port on the switch.
The left port LED lights solid green to indicate a valid connection
to a powered-on device and blinks green to indicate traffic on this
port.
Insight
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 you can log in to the Insight Cloud Portal.
The Cloud Portal lets you configure, manage, and monitor the switch from your
PC, Mac, or tablet for a larger-screen experience.
Local WiFi access. When you use the Insight mobile app for initial
configuration, 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 from a mobile device. After initial configuration, as long as your
switch is on a network with an Internet connection, you can access the switch
through the cloud using the Insight mobile app.
