The show network, in your hand. SwitchBox turns your iPhone into the control surface for the show network. Discover and manage your Netgear and Cisco switches over plain SNMP โ€” see every port like the console, power-cycle a frozen AP with one tap, and let the Network Doctor give you a pre-show GO / NO-GO on PTP, multicast and PoE. NO SPECIAL HARDWARE Plug your iPhone into the show LAN with any off-the-shelf USB-C to Ethernet adapter โ€” or hop on the management Wi-Fi โ€” and you're managing switches in seconds. FIND & MANAGE โ€ข Auto-discovers managed switches on the LAN โ€ข Every port like the console โ€” link, speed, PoE, VLAN, labels โ€ข One-tap PoE power-cycle, port shut/enable, and VLAN changes NETWORK DOCTOR A pre-show GO / NO-GO verdict that reads PTP, IGMP querier, multicast, errors and PoE โ€” then tells you what's wrong and how to fix it, in plain tech English. SEE THE WHOLE RIG โ€ข PTP grandmaster and IGMP querier health โ€ข LLDP topology map with your Dante / NDI devices โ€ข Per-port utilization, error counters and SFP optic levels โ€ข Pre-show snapshot with a shareable health report Built for AV, RF and broadcast techs who'd rather fix the network from the rack than crouch at a laptop.

SwitchBox talks only to the devices on your local network that you point it at. It collects no personal data: no analytics, no advertising, no account.
