One thing you may enjoy about the M4250 network switches is that all the ports are on the back allowing you to create amazing-looking systems when rack mounted. These network switches are very easy to mount because you can mount them with the included reserve mounting hardware or you can use the thread holes on the front and bottom for mounting these switches behind a monitor or under a conference room table.

When it comes to the technical details of networking NETGEAR takes the complicated parts out of the puzzle. The M4250 switches feature Auto-LAG and Auto-Trunk capabilities that make expanding your M4250 switch network a breeze. No more need for complicated, tedious Link Aggregation or Trunk configuration. And of course, these switches support PoE, PoE+, and PoE ++ capabilities. This means a single port can power up to 90 Watts/port for powering all kinds of IP cameras, speakers, and more devices.

M4250 Details

  • Easy configuration with an AV-centric GUI: The new AV GUI uses a profile-based configuration so all you have to do is to click on a profile, select the ports and you are ready to go.  No more wading through a 20 page configuration guide and possibly making a mistake along the way.
  • Designed for AV Racks:  Finally a network switch with ports in the back and a sleek design to look good in an AV rack.  Reverse mounting hardware is included if you need them in the front, too.
  • Multiple Mounting Options: Because we know a rack isn’t always where you need to mount a switch, we’ve included threaded holes on the front and bottom for mounting behind a monitor or under a conference table or even up on a truss!
  • Automatic Multiple Switch Configuration: New Auto-LAG and Auto-Trunk features make expanding your M4250 switch network a breeze.  No more need for complicated, tedious Link Aggregation or Trunk configuration.
  • PoE+ and PoE ++ capabilities: Single cable usage for Ethernet and power up to 90 Watts/port for powering all kinds of IP cameras, speakers, and more devices.

Chapter 1: How We Got Here

After about a year of live streaming, making every mistake in the book, I realized that creating live video was starting to become easy for me. The rubber was really starting to hit the road for me creatively. Facebook live had just come out and instead of resisting the latest trending technology, I started simulcasting our show. Simulcasting was a new term in the industry which described streaming media that was sent to multiple destinations at the same time. For the first time, I was able to live stream our show on both YouTube and Facebook. The seas were starting to open and our live show was on a roll.

So a couple times each week, I would live stream to our businesses social media accounts. I made a deal with our boss at the time that these live streams would only take up 10% of my work week. The promise to work half a day per week quickly spiraled into something much more. But this is where the story begins. I quickly realized that my job would become learning about something useful and sharing that knowledge with our audience. The more useful the knowledge I shared, the better it would perform. The more compelling my story and inbound marketing strategy was the more leads I was able to create for our company.

At one point, I was making one video per day because there was so much content that needed to be cataloged and made into video. We decided to divide the week up into a “daily vlog schedule” which was something like: Mondays with Paul, Tech Support Tuesday, Back to Basics, Something New Thursday and the regular Friday Show. I have to say that daily video creation did a lot for our YouTube channel. As long as we had a topic to talk about, we were able to sit down and record a presentation with prepared media. We could have it uploaded to Facebook and/or YouTube as soon as we were finished recording. Since we recorded the whole video live, the real art was managing the video production software controls and talking about the given topic at the same time….[continue reading]
