Welcome to the community! :)
It seems that the JGS524E switch you have is a JGS524Ev1 (v = version). The JGS524Ev1 does not have a web-GUI. It can only be manage using the ProSAFE Plus Configuration Utility.
The JGS524Ev2 switch can be managed either via its web-GUI or by using the ProSAFE Plus Configuration Utility.
As reference, kindly check the respective data sheets for the JGS524Ev1 and JGS524Ev2 below. Notice on page 7 of the JGS524Ev2 data sheet, it states on the Management section that it can be both managed via Web browser-based management GUI and PC Utility (ProSAFE Plus Configuration Utility).
If ever your concern has been addressed and resolved, I encourage you to mark the appropriate reply as the “Accepted Solution” so others can be confident in benefiting from the solution. The NETGEAR Community looks forward to hearing from you and being a helpful resource in the future!

Guess that would be the reason then. I'll stick with the Utility program then, thanks for the quick response.
