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congure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eld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 16), with a total power budget of 180W for model GS716TP and 300W
for model GS716TPP.
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
insufcientPoEpowerfromtheswitch,considerusingashortercable.

0 PoE and PoE+ Default power (full) 15.4W 0.44W–12.95W
1 PoE and PoE+ Very low power 4.0W 0.44W–3.84W
2 PoE and PoE+ Low power 7.0W 3.84W–6.49W
3 PoE and PoE+ Mid power 15.4W 6.49W–12.95W
4 PoE+ High power 30.0W 12.95W–25.5W
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
classication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.
