• Disabled — The port has been configured not to supply power.
• FAULT — The port is in error.
Profile
The Profile that has been selected for a port. This can take one of the following values:
• Guaranteed — The device on the port has power reserved for it, as listed in the Limited
To column.
• Not Guaranteed — The device on the port has no power reserved for it. It will receive
power if the switch is below its maximum power budget, and all ports with higher
priorities are receiving power.
Limited To
The power that has been guaranteed to a device. If no power has been guaranteed, a hyphen
('-') is displayed and the port is limited to 15.4 watts as defined in the Power over Ethernet
specification (IEEE 802.3af-2003).
Current
The power that is currently supplied to a port. If no power is currently supplied, a hyphen ('-')
is displayed.
Peak
The maximum power that has been supplied by a port since the counter was last reset.
The following example can be used to verify that the switch can auto-detect the PDs and
supply power to them.
• Plug the Avaya 4620, 4612 and 4602SW IP phones into ports 1-3.
• Click Refresh as shown in Figure 5. Figure 6 shows that all three IP telephones are
automatically powered up, and the power status is changed to Active. Note that the
Current and Peak power for all three IP telephones are displayed also.
