Step 7: Applying AC Power
NETGEAR Smart Switch does not have an ON/OFF switch. The method of applying or removing
AC power is by connecting or disconnecting the power cord. Before connecting the power cord,
select an AC outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch, which can turn off power to the switch.
After selecting an appropriate outlet, use the following procedure to apply AC power.
1. Connect the female end of the supplied AC power adapter cable to the power receptacle on the
back of the switch.
2. Connect the 3-pronged end of the AC power adapter cable to a grounded 3-pronged AC outlet.
When applying power, the Power LED on the switch's front panel is Green.
If the Power LED does not go on, check that the power cable is plugged in correctly and that the
power source is good. If this does not resolve the problem, see Chapter 4, “Troubleshooting”.
Step 8: Switch Management through a Web Browser or the PC Utility for Initial Configuration
The NETGEAR Smart Switch contains software for viewing, changing, and monitoring the way it
works. This management software is not required for the switch to work. The ports can be used
without using the management software. However, the management software enables the setup of
VLAN and Trunking features, and also improves the efficiency of the switch, which results in the
improvement of its overall performance as well as the performance of the network.
After powering up the switch for the first time, the Smart Switch can be configured using a Web
browser or a utility program called Smart Wizard Discovery. For more information about
managing the switch, see the Software Manual on the Smart Switch Resource CD.
