NETGEAR GSM4248PX-100EUS M4250 48-Port AV over IP PoE+ Switch

The NETGEAR GSM4248PX-100EUS M4250 AV Line Switch is a professional 48-port managed AV over IP switch engineered for Audio over IP (AoIP), Video over IP (VoIP) and modern networked AV deployments. Designed specifically for professional AV environments, the M4250 combines enterprise-grade switching capabilities with AV-focused hardware, software and support to simplify the deployment of professional AV network infrastructure.

With PoE+ connectivity, high-speed uplinks and dedicated AV configuration profiles, the M4250 is well suited to conference rooms, corporate AV environments, live events, digital signage, education, hospitality and large-scale AV over IP installations.

Purpose-Built for AV over IP

The M4250 series is designed to make AV over IP deployment simple and reliable. Compatible AV encoders and decoders can be connected with minimal configuration, while the dedicated AV web interface provides installers with streamlined access to AV-specific settings and port-based configuration profiles.

Built-in profiles support leading AV platforms and protocols including:

• Dante
• Q-SYS
• AES67
• AVB (licence sold separately)
• NDI
• SVSI
• NVX
• Kramer KDS
• Aurora Multimedia
• ZeeVee
• Atlona
• SDVoE

Advanced AV Networking

NETGEAR IGMP Plus™ simplifies multicast management between M4250 switches and compatible M4300 and M4500 series switches. Auto-Trunk and Auto-LAG help simplify switch interconnection and reduce deployment time when building professional AV networks.

The switch also incorporates a comprehensive Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching engine, supporting professional AV, enterprise networking, IoT and IPTV applications within a single network infrastructure.

Enterprise Layer 2 and Layer 3 Features

Advanced networking capabilities include static routing, RIP, PIM-SM, multicast routing, DHCP Server, PTPv2 Transparent Clock and policy-based routing, enabling the switch to support complex AV and enterprise networking requirements.

Security and traffic-management features include:

• 802.1X, MAB and Captive Portal authentication
• DHCP Snooping
• IP Source Guard
• DoS attack mitigation
• IPv4/IPv6 security
• Advanced QoS and traffic prioritisation
• Voice VLAN
• LLDP-MED
• Link Aggregation (LAG)
• RSPAN and sFlow

Flexible AV Installation

The M4250 is designed to integrate cleanly with rack-mounted AV equipment. Its front-facing status display keeps system information visible, while cabling is positioned at the rear to support cleaner installations within AV racks and equipment enclosures.

Reversible rack mounting and recessed mounting options provide additional installation flexibility, while integrated mounting points enable deployment outside a rack where required.

Software-controlled fan management can reduce fan operation when temperature and PoE loads permit, helping provide quieter operation in suitable installation environments.

Comprehensive Network Management

The M4250 provides multiple management options for AV professionals and IT administrators, including:

• Dedicated AV web-based GUI
• Standard IT web management interface
• Command Line Interface (CLI)
• SNMP and RMON
• NMS300 network management
• Out-of-band Ethernet management
• RJ45 RS232 console
• USB Type-C console
• USB-A storage for logs, configurations and firmware
• Dual firmware images for reduced service interruption

The dedicated AV interface is accessible through the switch’s IP address on port 8080, providing AV-focused controls designed specifically for professional AV deployments.

Professional AV Networking with Long-Term Support

The NETGEAR M4250 series is backed by a ProSAFE Limited Lifetime Hardware Warranty, Lifetime Technical Support and Lifetime Next Business Day Hardware Replacement, helping support long-term deployment in professional environments.

NETGEAR also provides network design and installation assistance through its Engineering Services Team, helping organisations plan and deploy reliable AV over IP and networked AV infrastructures.
