AV Line of Fully Managed Switches

M4250 Series

1.

Install the switch using one of the following methods:

•

On a flat surface

. Attach one of the rubber footpads that came with the switch

on each of the four concave spaces on the bottom of the switch.

•

In a rack

. Except for desktop models, use the rack-mount kit that is supplied with

your switch.

•

Attached to a flat surface or under a table

. For desktop models only, use the

brackets that are supplied with your switch.

2.

Apply power.

The Power LED lights solid yellow while the switch conducts a power-on self-test

(POST). After the POST completes, the Power LED indicates the results:

•

Solid green

. The switch is functional.

•

Solid yellow

. The POST failed.

If the Power LED does not light at all, check to see that the power cable or power

adapter is plugged in correctly and that the power source is functioning.

3.

Connect devices to the switch.

NOTE:

If purchased, SFP modules and cables are shipped separately.

We recommend using the following cables and, if applicable, SFP modules:

•

Category 5e (Cat 5e) or better cable for a copper port at 1 Gbps or 2.5 Gbps.

•

NETGEAR AGM734 module for a copper port at 1 Gbps.

•

NETGEAR AGM731F or AGM732F module for a fiber port at 1 Gbps.

•

NETGEAR AXM761, AXM762, AXM763,

AXM764, or AXM765 module for a fiber port

at 10 Gbps.

•

NETGEAR AXC761 (1 m), AXC763 (3 m),

AXC765 (5 m), AXC767 (7 m),

AXC7610 (10 m), AXC7615 (15 m), or AXC7620 (20 m) cable for a fiber port.

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.

Before connecting this switch to outdoor cables or devices, see

https://kb.netgear.com/000057103 for safety and warranty information.

NOTE:

For information about using the main UI or AV UI, including information

about assigning a static IP address to the switch, see the one of the user manuals,

which you can download by visiting netgear.com/support/download/.

NOTE:

Make sure that the switch is running the latest firmware version.

To download firmware, visit

netgear.com/support/download/.

NOTE:

For more information about these requirements, the hardware setup

process, the LEDs, and how to connect devices, see the hardware installation

guide, which you can download by visiting netgear.com/support/download/.

Set up the switch

Prepare the installation site so that mounting, access, power source, and environmental

requirements are met.

Log in and configure the switch

You can log in and configure the switch through the out-of-band (OOB) port (which is also

referred to as the service port), through any Ethernet network port, or through a console

port. By default, the switch functions as a DHCP client.

To log in and configure the switch, use

one

of the following methods:

•

Audio-video local browser user interface

:

Use the audio-video local browser user

interface, abbreviated as AV UI, through the OOB port or any Ethernet network port

(see

Access the AV UI or main UI to configure the switch

).

•

Main local browser user interface

: Use the main local browser user interface,

abbreviated as main UI, through the OOB port or any Ethernet network port (see


).

•

CLI

: Use the command-line interface (CLI) through the Type-C USB console port or

RJ-45 RS232 console port. You can configure the IP address manually or use the

ezconfig utility (see Access the CLI to configure the switch

).


You can use a computer on the same subnet as the switch to access either the AV UI or

main UI over the switch’s default IP address.

1.

Configure your computer with a static IP address:

•

For access over an Ethernet network port, use an IP address in the 169.254.0.0

subnet with subnet mask 255.255.0.0. For example, use 169.254.100.201.

•

For access over the OOB port, use an IP address in the 192.168.0.0 subnet with

subnet mask 255.255.255.0. For example, use 192.168.0.201.

2.

Connect an Ethernet cable from an Ethernet port on your computer to the OOB port

or an Ethernet network port on the switch:

3.

Launch a web browser and enter the default IP address of the switch in the address

field of the browser:

•

Ethernet port

: For access over an Ethernet network port, enter

http://169.254.100.100

.

•

OOB port

: For access over the OOB port, enter

http://192.168.0.239

.

The login page displays.

4.

To log in for the first time, do one of the following:

•

AV UI

: To access the AV UI, enter

admin

for the user name, leave the password

field blank, and click the

AV UI Login

button.

•

Main UI

: To access the main UI, click the

Main UI Login

button. The main UI login

page displays. Enter

admin

for the user name, leave the password field blank,

and click the

Login

button.

On first login, you are required to specify a password.

5.

Specify a password and log in again using your new password.
