5. Congure the Switch
We recommend that you use a web browser on a computer or tablet to congure
the switch.
Note: If your computer is a Mac, use the NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool, as
described in the following section.
1. Open a web browser from a computer or tablet connected to the same
network as your switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection.
2. Enter the IP address of the switch.
3. Enter the password.
The default password is password. We recommend that you change the
password to a more secure password.
4. Click the Login button.
Other Discovery and Conguration Methods
The NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool and the Smart Control Center Utility let you
discover the IP address and congure the switch.
• NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool. You can use a Mac or a 64-bit Windows-
based computer that is on the same network as the switch. You can use a
WiFi or wired connection. When you discover the switch, this tool provides
access to the local browser interface to congure the switch. To download
the NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool, visit
www.netgear.com/support/product/netgear-switch-discovery-tool.aspx.
• Smart Control Center Utility. You can use a Windows-based computer that
is on the same network as the switch. This utility requires Adobe Air. If Adobe
Air is not detected during Smart Control Center Utility installation, you are
prompted to allow Adobe Air to be installed. To download this utility, visit
www.netgear.com/support/product/SCC.
Note: If you cannot discover or congure the switch, you might need to
temporarily disable the rewall, Internet security, or antivirus programs. Make
sure to reenable these security services after you discover and congure the
switch.
PoE Considerations
The PoE and PoE+ power supplied by the GS324TP switch is prioritized in
ascending port order (from port 1 to port 24), with a total power budget of 190
watts. If the power requirements for the attached powered devices (PDs) exceed
the total power budget of the switch, the PD on the highest-numbered port is
disabled to make sure that the PDs that are connected to the higher-priority,
lower-numbered ports are supported rst.
The following table describes the PoE classes and switch allocations.
Device
Class
Standard Class
Description
Power
Reserved by
the Device
Power Delivered
to the Device*
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+ only High power 30.0W 12.95W–25.5W
* Calculated with the maximum cable length of 328 feet (100 meters). Shorter cable lengths will
provide power closer to the power reserved by the switch.
