Introduction

This hardware installation guide complements the installation guide that came with your

switch and applies the following NETGEAR Smart Managed Pro switch models:

•GS716TP. 16-Port Gigabit PoE+ Ethernet Smart Managed Pro Switch with 2 SFP

Ports and Cloud Management

•GS716TPP. 16-Port Gigabit Hi-Power PoE+ Ethernet Smart Managed Pro Switch

with 2 SFP Ports and Cloud Management

The switch provides sixteen Gigabit RJ-45 copper PoE+ ports with two dedicated SFP

fiber ports. Power over Ethernet (PoE) lets you provide power to PoE-capable devices

such as WiFi access points, VoIP phones, and IP security cameras so that you do not

need to use power supplies for those devices. The switch can supply up to 30W PoE+

(IEEE 802.3at) to each port. The maximum PoE power budget across all active PoE+

ports is 180W for model GS716TP and 300W for model GS716TPP.

In this guide, we refer to both models as the switch.

This chapter serves as an introduction to the switch and includes the following sections:

• Overview

• Management options

• Features

• Safety instructions and warnings

Note: For more information about the topics that are covered in this manual, visit the

support website at netgear.com/support/.

Note: For technical specifications, see the data sheet at

netgear.com/business/products/switches/managed. For switch documentation, visit

netgear.com/support/download.

Overview

The switch provides sixteen 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 copper ports that support

nonstop 10/100/1000M Layer 2 and Layer 3 networks. All RJ-45 ports support PoE+.

Two additional ports (17 and 18) can accept small form-factor pluggable (SFP) gigabit

interface converters (GBICs) for 1G fiber connectivity.

Note: For information about application samples, see Applications on page 18.

You can install the switch freestanding or rack-mounted in a wiring closet or equipment

room. The switch is IEEE-compliant and offers low latency. All ports can automatically

negotiate to the highest speed, which makes the switch very suitable for a mixed

environment with Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet.

Use Category 5e (Cat 5e) or higher-rated Ethernet cables terminated with RJ-45

connectors to make Gigabit connections.

Management options

The switch provides management options that let you discover the switch on the network

and configure, monitor, and control the switch:

•Local browser user interface (UI). By default, the management mode of the switch

is set to Directly Connect to Web Browser Interface, which lets you access the local

browser UI. In this mode, you can change all settings of the switch.

For more information about the local browser UI, see the user manual, which you

can download from netgear.com/support/download/.

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 local browser 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

Hardware Installation Guide5Introduction

16-Port Gigabit (Hi-Power) PoE+ Ethernet Smart Managed Pro Switch with 2 SFP Ports

switch, scan the QR code or the barcode of the switch, or add the serial number

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

advanced remote setup, configuration, and management, monitor the switch,

analyze the switch and network usage, and, if necessary, troubleshoot the switch

and the network.

For more information about NETGEAR Insight, visit netgear.com/insight and see the

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 local browser UI). Note the following about changing the

management mode:

•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 on the cloud server, 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 local browser 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.

•Changing back to Directly Connect to Web Browser Interface mode. The

NETGEAR Insight Mobile App and Insight Cloud Portal management mode is disabled

and the current Insight-manageable device settings are saved to the cloud server.

Any changes that you make using the Directly Connect to Web Browser Interface

management mode are not saved to the cloud server.
