AV-over-IP Managed Switch

The Netgear M4250 AV Line switch is a managed Layer 3 device built for professional audio and video over IP installations. It targets integrators who need pre-configured profiles for Dante, Q-SYS, NDI and similar 1 Gbps codecs. The 24 PoE++ ports power endpoints directly from the rack.

Installation Notes

The unit includes mounting ears for under-table or wall placement and ships with both RJ45-to-DB9 and USB-C console cables for initial setup. Rear-facing ports keep cabling tidy in AV racks. The AV GUI simplifies profile assignment per port, while IGMP Plus automates multicast across linked M4250, M4300 or M4500 switches. License purchase is required to activate the AVB profile.

Deciding Specification

Twenty-four Gigabit RJ45 ports deliver PoE++ (Ultra90) power for cameras, encoders and controllers without external injectors. Four SFP uplink slots provide fiber expansion for longer runs between racks. If the project requires 10 Gbps AV streams or more than 24 powered endpoints, this model does not meet that need.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the M4250-26G4F-PoE++ switch is operating correctly after initial setup?

The simplified AV GUI shows real-time port profiles and IGMP Plus multicast status, confirming each of the 24 PoE++ ports and 4 SFP slots are passing traffic as intended.

What ships with the GSM4230UP-100NAS and what must I source separately?

The box includes the switch, power cord(s), RJ45-to-DB9 serial console cable, USB-C to USB-A 2.0 console cable, SFP/SFP+ rubber caps, and rubber footpads; SFP transceivers and an AVB licence are not included.

Which M4250 model should I choose for a 24-port PoE++ AV installation with fibre uplinks?

The GSM4230UP-100NAS provides exactly 24 Gigabit PoE++ RJ45 ports plus 4 SFP uplink slots, matching a 1 Gbps AV-over-IP design that needs both copper and fibre connectivity.
