  • Updated on January 28, 2026 PDF Download

The GWN7710R is a 6-Port (5GE+1SFP) Outdoor Lite Managed PoE Switch with a professional shell design, IP66 dust-proof and waterproof which can easily cope with rain, snow, high temperatures and other harsh weather conditions. The GWN7710R can build scalable, secure, high-performance, easy to use and manage business networks in scenic locations, hotels, restaurants and other similar areas. It supports not only flexible and complex traffic segmentation by VLAN, but also port-based, DSCP/802.1p QoS priority management modes, as well as bandwidth control and Storm Control, greatly improving the overall network performance.The GWN7710R integrates PoE power supply and PoE power receive, which results in multi-port long-distance PoE power supply while extending the data transmission distance. It can be managed in a variety of ways, including the local web user interface and GWN. Cloud. The compact body of GWN7701R and its support for pole and wall-mounted installation make it the ideal management network switch for both indoor and outdoor areas.

Power line specification (AWG) vs Current (A) for reference:

AWG Out Diameter (mm) Out Diameter (inch) Current (A)
14 1.63 0.0641 8
15 1.45 0.0571 6.5
16 1.29 0.0508 5.2
17 1.15 0.0453 4.1
18 1.02 0.0403 3.2

Users must select the appropriate power line based on the PoE output power.

Users can get the input current from the port info page by accessing the device WebUI.

It’s recommended to use power cords larger than 15 AWG for low voltage and high PoE power output.

Precautions:

  • Do not attempt to open, disassemble, or modify the device.

  1. Rotate the bracket 90° and attach it horizontally on the back of the device with assembled screws.
  2. Drill four holes on the wall referring to the positions of the ones on the bracket. Then, fix an expansion screw in each hole.
  3. Attach the device by securing the bracket with the expansion screws on the wall.

DIN-Rail Mount

DIN Rail Mount
  1. Attach the DIN-Rail bracket with screws on the back of the device.
  2. Clamp the DIN-Rail bracket to the universal guide rail.
Note:

DIN-Rail bracket is not provided.

Grounding the Switch

GWN7710R grounding the switch
  1. Remove the ground screw from the back of switch, and connect one end of the ground cable to the wiring terminal of switch.
  2. Put the ground screw back into the screw hole, and tighten it with a screwdriver.
  3. Connect the other end of the ground cable to other device that has been grounded or directly to the terminal of the ground bar in the equipment room.
Notes:

Ground cable is not provided.

Cable Installation

Cable Installation
  1. Insert the cable through the hole under the device housing and connect it to the corresponding interface, then insert the other end of the cable into the waterproof silicone plug.
  2. Insert the waterproof silicone plug into the designated position under the device housing.
  3. Push the anti-water shell in the direction of the arrow until the bottom shell is completely closed, and then use screws to fix it.

Access & Configure

Note:

If no DHCP server is available, the GWN7710R default IP address is 192.168.0.254.

Method 1: Login using the Web UI

  1. A PC uses a network cable to correctly connect any RJ45 port of the switch.
  2. Set the Ethernet (or local connection) IP address of the PC to 192.168.0.x (“x” is any value between 1-253), and the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0, so that it is in the same network segment with switch IP address. If DHCP is used, this step could be skipped.
  3. Type the switch’s management IP address http://(gwn7710R_IP) in the browser, and enter username and password to login. (The default administrator username is “admin” and the default random password can be found at the sticker on the GWN7710R switch).

Method 2: Configure using GDMS/GWN Manager

Type https://www.gdms.cloud (https://<gwn_manager_IP> for GWN Manager) in the browser, and enter the account and password to login the cloud platform. If you don’t have an account, please register first or ask the administrator to assign one for you. To add GWN switch to GDMS/GWN manager refer to online documentation: https://documentation.grandstream.com.
