I have two Laptops for "mobile" troubleshooting, that I can use.

Nothing the like even exists on these classic Plus switches, which are built on an unmanaged core and a tiny 8051-class micro controller holding the very basic Web UI, and the code for the Netgear Switch Discovery Protocol acessible by the ProSAFE Plus Configuration Utility, pure legacy (!), available as v2.7.8 via older model downloads, like https://www.netgear.com/support/product/jgs524pe#download - requiring Windows systems, requiring a workable installation of Npcap (currrent, legacy API), and the switch configured to allow Switch Management Mode, Web browser and Plus Utility and File Transfer via Plus Utility (TFTP) enabled, too.
