Insight Managed 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Cloud Switch with 2 SFP Fiber Ports
9. When prompted, enter the password.
The default password is password. If you added the switch to a network on the Insight
app before and you did not yet change the password through the local browser interface,
enter your Insight network password.
The System Information page displays and the full local browser interface is now
available.
10. After you complete the configuration of the switch, reconfigure the computer that you used
for this process to its original TCP/IP settings.
You can now connect your switch to your network using an Ethernet cable.
Change the Management Mode of the Switch
By default, the management mode on the switch is NETGEAR Insight app so that you can
manage the switch using the Insight app on a smartphone. The first time that you log in to the
switch’s local browser interface, you must change the management mode to PC
Web-browser (which is the same as the local browser interface). You can also change the
management mode back to NETGEAR Insight app.
Note the following about changing the management mode:
• Changing to PC Web-browser. The NETGEAR Insight app management mode
becomes disabled and the current Insight-manageable device settings are saved to the
cloud server. Any changes that you make using the PC Web-browser management mode
are not saved to the cloud server.
• Changing back to NETGEAR Insight app. If you added the switch to a network on the
Insight app before, all Insight-manageable device settings are returned to the last
configuration saved on the cloud server, including the switch password (that is, the
password is reset to the Insight network password).
Change the Management Mode to PC Web-Browser
Note: If you already accessed the local browser interface (see Access the
Switch on page 11), you can skip this section.
 To change the management mode of the switch to PC Web-Browser:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
