Note: 

You might be prompted to connect the switch to power and to 

an uplink. Since you already did this (see

Network

), tap the 

NEXT

 button.

The NETGEAR Insight app discovers the switch and registers it on the 
network that you named in Step 6.

If you are using the local WiFi access method and the app does not 
discover the switch, make sure that your mobile device and the switch 
are connected to the same WiFi network.

9.  Select the switch to configure and manage it.
You can use the NETGEAR Insight app to access the switch later to view or 
change the configuration settings.

PoE Troubleshooting for Model GC728XP

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

•  Make sure that the PoE Max LED is off. The switch provides a total 

power budget of 390 watts. If the PoE Max LED is solid amber, 
disconnect one or more powered devices (PDs) to prevent PoE 
oversubscription. Start by disconnecting the PD from the highest-
numbered port.

Note: 

You can access the web management interface of the switch to 

manually override the amount of power that is reserved for each PoE 

port and attached PD. 

•  Check the right LED for the port on the switch that is connected to 

a powered PD. The right port LED on the switch lights solid green to 
indicate that PoE is being delivered to the PD. If the right port LED 
lights solid amber, a PoE fault occurred. 

•  For more information, see the user manual, which you can download by
