Installation
Connect the Switch to Your Network
1. Connect devices to the RJ-45 network ports on the switch.
For model GC110P, you can connect either a PoE or non-PoE device to
any port. Model GC110 supports only non-PoE devices.
Use Category 5e (Cat 5e) or higher-rated Ethernet cables terminated
with RJ-45 connectors to make Gigabit connections.
2. Connect an RJ-45 port or SFP port on the switch to your network.
In a small network, connect the switch to the LAN port of a router that,
in turn, is connected to an Internet modem or gateway.
If you use an SFP port, you must insert an SFP transceiver module,
which is available from NETGEAR.
3. Power on the switch and wait for two or three minutes until the Power
LED lights green, indicating that switch completed its startup process
and is available on the network.
4. Make sure that you can reach the switch from your mobile device for
initial configuration:
• Option 1
. One of the devices that you connect to a network port
on the switch in Step 1 is a WiFi router or access point, allowing you
to connect to the switch using your mobile device over the access
point’s WiFi network.
• Option 2
. The network to which you connect the switch in Step 2
is connected to the Internet, allowing you to connect to the switch
using your mobile device over the cloud.

Configure the Switch Using the NETGEAR
Insight App
By default, the switch receives an IP address from a DHCP server (or a router
that functions as a DHCP server) in your network. If your network does
not include a DHCP server, the switch uses 192.168.0.239 as its default IP
address. The NETGEAR Insight app lets you discover, configure, manage, and
monitor your switch.
Note:
You can also connect to the switch in the traditional way, using a computer and
a web browser. For more information, visit
netgear.com/support/product/GC110
(or
GC110P) and search for “Configure the switch using a web browser”.
1. On your iOS or Android mobile device, go to the app store, search for
NETGEAR Insight, and download the app.
2. If the switch is directly connected to a WiFi router or access point (see
Step 3, Option 1, in
Connect the Switch to Your Network
), connect your
mobile device to the WiFi network of the router or access point.
3. Open the NETGEAR Insight app.
