Note: You might be prompted to connect the switch to power and to
an uplink. Since you already did this (see Connect the Switch to Your
Network), tap the NEXT button.
The NETGEAR Insight app discovers the switch and registers it on the
network that you named in Step 6.
If you are using the local WiFi access method and the app does not
discover the switch, make sure that your mobile device and the switch
are connected to the same WiFi network.
9. Select the switch to configure and manage it.
You can use the NETGEAR Insight app to access the switch later to view or
change the configuration settings.

PoE Troubleshooting for Model GC728XP
Here are some tips for correcting simple problems that might occur:
• Make sure that the PoE Max LED is off. The switch provides a total
power budget of 390 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 access the web management interface of the switch to
manually override the amount of power that is reserved for each PoE
port and attached PD.
• Check the right LED for the port on the switch that is connected to
a powered PD. The right port LED on the switch lights solid green to
indicate that PoE is being delivered to the PD. If the right port LED
lights solid amber, a PoE fault occurred.
