Netgear GSM4210PX-100NAS AV Line M4250-8G2XF-PoE Managed Switch

Overview 

The Netgear GSM4210PX-100NAS, a cornerstone of the M4250 AV Line, is a purpose-built managed switch engineered specifically for professional Audio/Video over IP (AVoIP) deployments. Unlike traditional enterprise switches that require extensive manual configuration for multicast traffic, this unit features a dedicated AV-oriented user interface. This interface simplifies the deployment of complex protocols like Dante, AVB, and Q-SYS by providing pre-configured profiles that optimize IGMP Plus and VLAN settings automatically.

Key Features

• Eight 10/100/1000BASE-T PoE+ ports with 220W budget.
• Dual 10G SFP+ uplinks for high-bandwidth backhaul.
• Pre-configured AV profiles for Dante, NVX, and AVB.
• Versatile mounting for racks, walls, or VESA brackets.

• Frequently Asked Questions

  Does this switch support Audio Video Bridging (AVB)?

  Yes, the M4250 series supports AVB via an optional license, allowing for precise synchronization and low-latency transport in professional audio environments.

  Can the fans be turned off for noise-sensitive environments?

  The switch features an "off" fan mode for silent operation when the internal temperature and PoE load remain within specific thresholds, making it suitable for in-room placement.

  Is the AV UI different from the standard Netgear management interface?

  Yes, the AV UI is a simplified, web-based dashboard specifically designed to assign AV profiles to ports without needing deep networking expertise, though a standard IT GUI is also available.
