Troubleshooting Tips
Here are some tips for correcting simple problems that might occur:
• If you cannot connect with the NETGEAR Insight app to the switch,
make sure that your mobile device and the switch are connected to the
same WiFi network.
• Make sure that the Ethernet cables are plugged in correctly and that for
each powered-on device connected to the switch, the corresponding
le port LED on the switch either lights solid green (indicating a valid
connection) or blinks green (indicating that trac is being processed).
• Make sure that the PoE Max LED is o. Model GC510P provides a total
power budget of 134 watts. Model GC510PP provides a total power
budget of 195 watts. If the PoE Max LED is solid amber, disconnect one
or more powered devices (PDs) to prevent PoE oversubscription. Start
by disconnecting the PD from the highest-numbered port.
Note: You can also access the web browser-based management interface
of the switch to manually override the amount of power that is reserved for
each PoE port and attached PD. For more information, see the user manual,
which you can download by visiting netgear.com/support/product/GC510P or
netgear.com/support/product/GC510PP.
• For each powered PD that is connected to the switch, the
corresponding le port LED on the switch either lights solid green
(indicating a valid connection) or blinks green (indicating that trac is
being processed), and the corresponding right port LED on the switch
lights solid green (indicating that PoE is being delivered to the PD). If
the right port LED lights solid amber, a PoE fault occurred. For more
information, see the user manual, which you can download by visiting
netgear.com/support/product/GC510P or netgear.com/support/product/
GC510PP.
