The switch is registered and added to your account. You can now view the

switch in the NETGEAR Insight app.

Note:

Because this is an unmanaged switch, you cannot configure or manage it

in NETGEAR Insight.

Connect the switch

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 an Internet modem.

3.

Power on the switch.

PoE considerations

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 tables describe the power adapter models that are compatible with

the GS316P and GS316PP switches and their PoE classes and switch allocations:

Note:

The listed total power budget is the maximum power limit for the

switch. Many PDs require less than maximum power, so the aggregate power

requirements are lower than the maximum, allowing all sixteen PoE ports to be

active simultaneously.

PoE troubleshooting

Here are some tips for correcting PoE problems that might occur:

•

Make sure that the PoE Max LED is off. If the PoE Max LED is solid yellow,

disconnect one or more PoE devices to prevent PoE oversubscription. Start by

disconnecting the device from the highest-numbered port.

•

Make sure that the Ethernet cables are plugged in correctly. For each

powered device (PD) that is connected to the switch, the corresponding right

port LED on the switch lights solid green. If the right port LED lights solid

yellow, a PoE fault occurred and PoE halted because of one of the conditions

that are 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 attached

PD. Check the condition of the PD or restart the

PD by disconnecting and reconnecting the PD.

The PoE power demand of the PD exceeded

the maximum level that the switch permits,

which is 30.9W.

The PoE current on the port exceeded the

classification limit of the PD.

The PoE voltage of the port is outside the

range that the switch permits.

Restart the switch to see if the condition

resolves itself.
