1. Connect network devices to the ports on the switch. 2. Connect an RJ-45 port on the switch to a network. NOTE: In a small office or home office network, connect the switch to the LAN port of a router that, in turn, is connected to a modem. 3. Power on the switch. This switch is designed for indoor use only. If you want to connect it to a device located outdoors, the outdoor device must be properly grounded and surge protected, and you must install an Ethernet surge protector inline between the switch and the outdoor device. Failure to do so can damage the switch. WARNING: Before connecting this switch to outdoor cables or devices, see https://kb.netgear.com/000057103 for safety and warranty information. 3. Check the LEDs When you connect the power cord to the switch and plug it into an electrical outlet, the LEDs indicate the status: Description Power Solid green: The switch is powered on and operating normally. Off: Power is not supplied to the switch. PoE Max Off: Sufficient (more than 7W of) PoE power is available. Solid yellow: Less than 7W of PoE power is available. (The status of the switch’s PoE Blinking yellow: At least once during the previous two minutes, budget.) less than 7W of PoE power was available. Left port LED Solid green:1000 Mbps link on this port.

PoE considerations The switch can supply up to 30W PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) to each port: • Model GS116LP: Supports a maximum PoE power budget of total 76W with its default 90W power adapter across all active PoE+ ports. Model GS116PP: Supports a maximum PoE power budget of total 183W • with its default 200W power adapter across all active PoE+ ports. The switch prioritizes the PoE+ power that it supplies in ascending port order (from port 1 to port 16). If the aggregate power requirements of all attached power devices (PD) exceed the power budget of the switch, the PD on the highest-numbered port is disabled to make sure that the PDs that are connected to the higher-priority, lower-numbered ports are supported first. The following table shows the standard power ranges, calculated with the maximum cable length of 328 feet (100 meters). If a device receives insufficient PoE power from the switch, consider using a shorter cable. Device Compatible Class Maximum Power Class Description Power Supplied Delivered to Standard by the Switch the Device PoE and Default 15.4W 0.44W–12.95W...

Change the switch’s flexible PoE budget As an option, you can move the slider on the back of the switch to increase or decrease the PoE budget. You can increase the PoE budget if you purchase a higher wattage power adapter. You also can move the slider to a PoE budget that is lower than the power adapter wattage. This reduces your switch’s power consumption. However, we recommend using the slider setting that matches your power adapter. 1. Power down the switch and disconnect the power cord. 2. Use a screwdriver to remove the metal plate that covers the slider. 3. Move the slider to the setting that corresponds to the wattage of the new power adapter. 4. Replace the metal plate. 5. Connect the power cord and power on the switch. 3.7A (GS11 PP) 2.4A A (GS11 LP) PoE troubleshooting Here are some tips for correcting PoE problems that might occur: • If the PoE Max LED is yellow, disconnect one or more PoE devices to prevent PoE oversubscription. Start by disconnecting the device from the highest- numbered port. • For each powered device (PD) that is connected to the switch, the associated right port LED on the switch lights solid green. If the right port LED lights yellow, a PoE fault occurred because of one of the conditions listed in the following table.

PoE Fault Condition Possible Solution A PoE-related short circuit occurred on the port. The problem is most likely with the The PoE power demand of the PD exceeded attached PD. Check the condition the maximum level that the switch permits. The of the PD, or restart the PD by maximum level is 15.4W for a PoE connection or disconnecting and reconnecting 30W for a PoE+ connection the PD. The PoE current on the port exceeded the classification limit of the PD. The PoE voltage of the port is outside the range Power cycle the switch to see if the that the switch permits condition resolves itself. Mount the switch on a wall We recommend that you use the wall-mount screws that are included. The screws are 0.25 in. (6.5 mm) in diameter, 0.86 in. (22 mm) in length. 1. Locate the two mounting holes on the bottom panel of the switch. 2. Mark and drill two mounting holes in the wall where you want to mount the switch. The two mounting holes must be 4.27 in. (108.5 mm) apart, center-to-center. 3. Insert the supplied anchors into the wall and tighten the screws with a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver. Leave about 0.15 in. (4 mm) of each screw protruding from the wall so that you can insert the screws into the holes on the bottom panel. Install the Switch in a Rack To install the switch in a rack, you need the rack-mount brackets and screws that are supplied with the switch.

2. Tighten the screws with a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver to secure each bracket. 3. Align the mounting holes in the brackets with the holes in the rack, and insert two pan-head screws with nylon washers through each bracket and into the rack. 4. Tighten the screws with a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver to secure mounting brackets to the rack.
