11. Enter the default password that is printed on the switch label.
12. If prompted, enter a new admin password for the switch.
The Switch Information page displays, and shows the IP address assigned to
the switch.
13. Save the password and IP address for future use.
You can now congure and monitor your switch.
5. Mount the switch on a wall
We recommend that you use the wall‑mount screws that are included.
1. Locate the two mounting holes on the bottom panel of the switch.
2. Mark and drill two mounting holes in the wall where you want to mount the
switch.
The two mounting holes must be 3.94 in. (100 mm) apart, center‑to‑center.
3. Insert the supplied anchors into the wall and tighten the screws with a No. 2
Phillips screwdriver.
Leave about 0.125 in. (4 mm) of each screw protruding from the wall so that
you can insert the screws into the holes on the bottom panel.
Note: The screws are 6.5 mm in diameter, 16 mm in length.
PoE considerations
PoE power supplied by the switch is prioritized in ascending port order (from
port 1 to port 15):
• Model GS316EP ships with a 200W power adapter and can supply a total of
180W across all active PoE+ ports.
• Model GS316EPP ships with a 254W power adapter and can supply a total of
231W across all active PoE+ ports.
This table shows the standard power ranges without overrides applied,
calculated with the maximum cable length of 328 feet (100 meters). If a device
receives insufcient PoE power from the switch, consider using a shorter cable.

PoE troubleshooting
Here are some tips for correcting PoE problems that might occur:
• If the PoE Max LED is solid yellow, disconnect one or more PoE devices to
prevent PoE oversubscription.
• For each powered device (PD) that is connected to the switch, the associated
PoE LED on the switch lights solid green. If the PoE LED lights solid yellow, a
PoE fault occurred and PoE halted because of one of the conditions listed in
the following table:
PoE Fault Condition Possible Solution
A PoE‑related short circuit occurred on the port.
The problem is most
likely with the attached
PD. Check the condition
of the PD, or restart the
PD by disconnecting and
reconnecting the PD.
The PoE power demand of the PD exceeded the
maximum level that the switch permits. The maximum
level is 15.4W for a PoE connection and 30W for a
PoE+ connection.
The PoE current on the port exceeded the
classication limit of the PD.
The PoE voltage of the port is outside the range that
the switch permits.
Restart the switch to see
if the condition resolves
itself.
