By default, the PoE function on a port is enabled by the default configuration file when the device is delivered.

If you delete the default configuration file without specifying another one, the PoE function on a port will be disabled after you restart the device.

Setting the Maximum Output Power on a Port

The maximum power that can be supplied by each Ethernet electrical port of a PoE-enabled device to its PD is 25,000 mW. In practice, you can set the maximum power on a port depending on the actual power of the PD, in the range of 1,000 to 25,000 mW and in the granularity of 1 mW.
