PoE (Power over Ethernet) Configuration

PoE technology is a system to pass electrical power safely, along with data, on Ethernet cabling. Power is supplied in common mode over two or more of the differential pairs of wires found in the Ethernet cables and comes from a power supply within a PoE enabled networking devise such as Switch or can be injected into a cable run with a midspan power supply.

This figure shows all the PoE ‘s status when connect or disconnect to the PD devise.

¾PoE Enabled: POE of the port is able to supply power to the attached PD (Powered Device)

¾PD Class: Detect the class of PD

¾Delivering Power (W): Output power.

¾Current (mA): The status of the port current

¾Power output voltage per port

¾Power Budget Percentage of PoE power has been used
