Change the management mode to Insight
Note:
Follow this procedure only if you want to change the management mode to
NETGEAR Insight.
By default, the management mode in the device UI is set to Directly Connect to Web
Browser Interface, which lets you configure the switch from the device UI.
To manage the switch remotely from the cloud with the NETGEAR Insight Cloud Portal or
Insight app, change the management mode in the device UI.
1. Open a web browser from a computer or tablet connected to the same network as
your switch.
You can use a wired or WiFi connection.
2.
In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
The Device UI login page displays.
If you did not yet register the switch, the Register to activate your warranty page
displays. For more information, see
Log in to the device UI to configure the switch
.
3. Enter your device admin password.
PoE considerations
The PoE and PoE+ power supplied by the switch is prioritized in ascending port order
(from port 1 to port 24, with a total power budget of 190W for model GS728TPv2 and
380W for model GS728TPPv2.
The following table shows the standard power ranges without overrides applied,
calculated with the maximum cable length of 328 feet (100 meters). If a device receives
insufficient PoE power from the switch, consider using a shorter cable.

PoE troubleshooting
Here are some tips for correcting PoE problems that might occur:
•
If the PoE Max LED is solid yellow, disconnect one or more PoE devices to prevent PoE
oversubscription.
•
For each powered device (PD) that is connected to the switch, the associated PoE LED
on the switch lights solid green. If the PoE LED lights solid yellow, a PoE fault occurred
and PoE halted because of one of the conditions 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, restart the PD by disconnecting and
reconnecting the PD, or try a shorter
cable.
The PoE power demand of the PD exceeded the
maximum level that the switch permits. The maximum
level is 15.4W for a PoE connection and 30W for a
PoE+ connection.
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. Check the condition of
the PD, restart the PD by disconnecting
and reconnecting the PD, or try a shorter
cable.

3. If you did not yet register the switch with the NETGEAR Insight app, click one of the
following buttons:
•
Register Your Device
: This button displays if the switch is connected to the
Internet. You can register the switch and activate the warranty. For information
about the many benefits of registering your switch, visit
www.netgear.com/why-register/
.
•
Enter Registration Key
: If you obtained a registration key, for example by
registering your switch on the
MyNETGEAR.com
site, you can enter the key and
then log in to the device UI.
•
Skip Registration and Access the UI
: Registration is not mandatory, but we
highly recommend it. If you do not register the switch within 30 days of purchase,
your warranty entitlement might be affected.
4. If prompted, enter the default device admin password, which is
password
, and click
the
Go
button.
5.
If the Change Default Password page displays, specify and confirm a new device
admin password, click the
Submit
button, and log in again using your new password.
The System Information page displays. You can now configure the switch. For more
information about configuring the switch from the device UI, see the user manual,
which you can download by visiting
www.netgear.com/support/
.
This is the password that you specified the first time that you logged in to the
device UI.
4. Click the
Go
button.
The System Information page displays.
5. Select the
NETGEAR Insight Mobile App and Insight Cloud Portal
radio button.
6. In the pop-up window, click the
OK
button.
7. Click the
Apply
button.
8. In the pop-up window, click the
OK
button.
Your settings are saved.
The first time that you change the management mode to Insight, the switch is reset to its
factory default settings, and you must configure the switch using the NETGEAR Insight
Cloud Portal or Insight app. We recommend that you use the Insight Cloud Portal.
Note:
You can still log in to the device UI and access a limited menu, but instead of the
device admin password, you now must enter the Insight network password for the Insight
network location to which you added the switch.
