GC110-GC110P Quick Install Guide

Installation
Connect the Switch to Your Network
During initial setup, you must connect the switch to a network that you can
access with a local WiFi connection.
For Gigabit connections, use Category 5e (Cat 5e) or higher-rated Ethernet
cables terminated with RJ-45 connectors.
To use an SFP port, you must insert a 1G SFP transceiver module, which is
available from NETGEAR.
¾ To connect the switch:
1. Connect devices to the network ports on the switch.
2. Connect the switch to the network.
3. Power on the switch and wait for two or three minutes.
The Power LED lights green, indicating that switch completed its
startup process and is available on the network.
The switch receives an IP address from a DHCP server (or a router that
functions as a DHCP server) in your network. If your network does not
include a DHCP server, the switch uses 192.168.0.239 as its default IP
address.
4. To check the port connections from the switch to the powered-on
devices that you connected, do the following:
• Make sure that the Ethernet cables are plugged in correctly.
• Check the le LED for each port on the switch.
The le port LED lights solid green to indicate a valid connection
to a powered-on device and blinks green to indicate trac on this
port.
Access the Switch for Configuration
The NETGEAR Insight app lets you use your mobile device to discover,
configure, manage, and monitor your switch. You can use this app to access

Configure the Switch Using the NETGEAR
Insight App
By default, the switch receives an IP address from a DHCP server (or a router
that functions as a DHCP server) in your network. If your network does
not include a DHCP server, the switch uses 192.168.0.239 as its default IP
address. The NETGEAR Insight app lets you discover, configure, manage, and
monitor your switch.
Note: You can also connect to the switch in the traditional way, using a computer and
a web browser. For more information, visit netgear.com/support/product/GC110 (or
GC110P) and search for “Configure the switch using a web browser”.
¾ To configure the switch:
1. On your iOS or Android mobile device, go to the app store, search for
NETGEAR Insight, and download the app.
