Manage Power over Ethernet User Manual403
Activate the new PoE budget for an
optional or replacement power adapter
Note: When the management mode is NETGEAR Insight Mobile App and
Insight Cloud Portal (Cloud/Remote), which means that the local browser
UI provides a limited menu only, you can still perform this task.
Models GC108P and GC108PP model support NETGEAR FlexPoE power. This feature
allows for interchangeable power adapters between the models so that you can change your
PoE power budget.
Model GC108P comes with a 67.5W power adapter that provides a PoE power budget
of
64W. Model GC108PP comes with a 130W power adapter that provides a PoE power
budget of 126W.
If you purchase and connect the NETGEAR optional power adapter model EPS130W to
model GC108P, you can upgrade the PoE power budget to the same 126W as model
GC108PP. This feature effectively lets you change your model GC108P into a model
GC108PP. After you change the power adapter, you must use the local browser UI to activate
the new power adapter that you connected to the switch.
Note: If you do not change the power adapter, you do not need to select the
PoE budget and power adapter in the local browser UI. On model
GC108P, by default, the 67.5W power adapter is selected. On model
GC108PP, by default, the 130W power adapter is selected.
After you connect the new power adapter to the switch, wait for the Power LED to light either
solid green or solid blue.
To activate the new PoE budget for an optional or replacement power adapter:
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.
For information about finding the IP address of the switch, see Access the switch on
page 14.
