Installation Guide 8-port Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged High-Power PoE+ Switch with FlexPoE Model GS308PP Package contents • Switch • Power cord (varies by region) • Power Adapter (90W) • Wall installation kit • Rubber feet • Mounting ties (for power adapter) • Installation guide Register with the NETGEAR Insight app 1. Search for NETGEAR Insight and download the latest app. 2. Set up a NETGEAR account if you do not have one. 3. Tap the menu in the upper-left corner. 4. Tap REGISTER ANY NETGEAR DEVICE. 5. Enter the serial number located on the bottom of the switch, or use the camera on your mobile device to scan the serial number bar code. 6. Tap GO. 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 GS308PP Router Internet PoE+ security camera Wave 2 Wireless AP ReadyNAS Sample connections Smart Laptop phone PoE VoIP phone Internet PoE+ Ethernet 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 8). If the aggregate power requirements of all attached power devices (PD) exceed the power budget of the switch, the PD on the highestnumbered 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 GS308PP switch and the 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 eight PoE ports to be active simultaneously. Power adapters and total power budgets for the GS308PP: Power adapter model EPS90W EPS130W Power adapter 90W 130W Total power budget 83W 123W PoE classes and switch allocations: Device Standard class Class description 0 PoE and PoE+ Default power (full) Minimum power allocated to the powered device 0.44W Range of power delivered to the powered device 0.44W-12.95W Device Standard class 1 PoE and PoE+ 2 PoE and PoE+ 3 PoE and PoE+ 4 PoE+ only Class description Very low power Low power Mid power High power Minimum power allocated to the powered device 4.0W 7.0W 15.4W 30.0W Range of power delivered to the powered device 0.44W-3.84W 3.84W-6.49W 6.49W-12.95W 12.95W-25.5W 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 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. 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. Restart the switch to see if the condition resolves itself.
