NETGEAR GS510TP Smart Switch

Note: The PoE port may be considered SELV circuits, if it is not likely to require connection to an Ethernet network with outside plant routing, including campus environment; and the installation instructions clearly state that the ITE is to be connected only to PoEnetworks without routing to the outside plant.

Step 5: Applying AC Power

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 end of the supplied AC power cord to the power receptacle on the back of the switch.

2.Connect the AC power cord into a power source such as a wall socket or power strip.

When applying power, the Power LED on the switch’s front panel illuminates.

If the Power LED does not go on, check that the power cord is plugged in correctly and that the power source is good. If this does not resolve the problem, refer to Appendix A.

Step 6: Managing the Switch using a Web Browser or the PC Utility

The GS510TP 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 program called Smart Control Center Utility. For more information about managing the switch, see the Gigabit Advanced Smart Switch Series Software Administration Manual on the Smart Switch Resource CD.

GS510TP-100NAS specifications

The NETGEAR GS510TP-100NAS is an advanced 10-Port Gigabit Ethernet smart switch, ideal for small to medium-sized businesses looking to enhance their network capabilities. Designed to deliver robust performance and speed, the GS510TP combines the benefits of traditional Ethernet switching with essential management features that cater to modern networking demands.

One of the standout features of the GS510TP is its Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities. With a total PoE budget of 65 watts across multiple ports, this switch can power devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points without the need for additional power sources. This simplifies installation and reduces cable clutter, making it a practical solution for businesses looking to implement both wired and wireless networks efficiently.

The switch is equipped with 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports, which provide high-speed data transfer rates up to 1 Gbps. This is complemented by 2 SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) ports that allow for fiber connections, enhancing flexibility and extending the reach of the network. The GS510TP is ideal for businesses that require high bandwidth for applications such as video streaming, large file transfers, and online collaboration.

Moreover, the NETGEAR GS510TP features a web-based management interface that offers a variety of tools for network monitoring and configuration. Administrators can easily set up VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks), manage network traffic with QoS (Quality of Service), and implement security features like port mirroring and access control lists (ACLs). These functionalities enable businesses to customize their networks according to specific operational needs.

The switch also supports advanced Layer 2 features, such as Static MAC address, IGMP Snooping, and Link Aggregation, which improve network performance and efficiency. These features help to manage traffic flow, increase bandwidth utilization, and provide redundancy in case of link failures.

In terms of energy efficiency, the GS510TP complies with IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet standards, allowing the switch to automatically reduce power consumption during low-data-traffic periods, leading to cost savings and a smaller environmental footprint.

With its durable metal casing and fanless design, the NETGEAR GS510TP operates quietly while providing reliable performance in a range of environments. This switch is an excellent choice for businesses seeking a feature-rich, high-performance networking solution that is both scalable and cost-effective.
