24-Port Multigig Ethernet Ultra60 PoE++ Smart Switch with 4 SFP Ports Hardware Installation
Note: If you plan to use the NETGEAR Insight app or Insight Cloud portal to manage
the switch, we recommend that you do not use the device UI to change settings that
are Insight manageable because they would not be synchronized with Insight or to
the network location and other devices to which you assigned the switch.
• NETGEAR Insight app and Insight Cloud portal: If you set the management mode
of the switch to NETGEAR Insight Mobile App and Insight Cloud Portal, you can use
the following applications to manage the switch remotely:
- NETGEAR Insight app: With the NETGEAR Insight app, you can discover the
switch on the network and add the switch to the NETGEAR Insight app so that
you can set up the switch in the network and manage and monitor the switch
remotely from your smartphone or tablet. You can choose from four methods to
add the switch to the NETGEAR Insight app: You can scan your network for the
switch, enter the serial number of the switch, or scan the QR code or the barcode
of the switch.
- Insight Cloud portal: As an Insight Premium or Insight Pro subscriber, you can
use the NETGEAR Insight Cloud portal to set up the switch in the network; perform
remote setup, configuration, and management; monitor the switch, analyze the
switch and network usage, and, if necessary, troubleshoot the switch and the
network.

NETGEAR knowledge base articles at netgear.com/support.
By default, the management mode is set to Directly Connect to Web Browser Interface
(which is the same as the device UI). Note the following about changing the management
mode to and from Insight:
• Changing to NETGEAR Insight Mobile App and Insight Cloud Portal mode: The
first time that you change to this mode, the switch is set to factory default settings
so that you can manage the switch using the Insight app or the Insight Cloud portal.
However, if you added the switch to a network on the Insight app or Insight portal
before, all Insight-manageable device settings are returned to the last configuration
saved in the Insight cloud, including the switch password (that is, the password is
reset to the Insight network password).
Note: If you use the NETGEAR Insight app or the Insight Cloud portal, you can
temporarily change the management mode of the switch back to Directly Connect
to Web Browser Interface and access the device UI for settings that are not
Insight-manageable, for complex tasks such as integrating with an existing network
of devices that are not managed through Insight, and for debugging purposes.
When you are done, you can change the management mode back to NETGEAR
Insight Mobile App and Insight Cloud Portal.
