DESCRIPTION

PoE Mode

Select the power management mode you want the Switch to use.

 

Classification - Select this if you want the Switch to reserve the Max Power

 

(mW) to each PD according to the power classification of the PD. If the total

 

power supply available is not enough to supply all connected PDs, then PDs

 

with lower priority do not get power to function.

 

Consumption - Select this if you want the Switch to manage the total power

 

supply so that each connected PD gets a resource. However, the power

 

allocated by the Switch may be less than the Max Power (mW) of the PD. PDs

 

with higher priority also get more power than those with lower priority levels.

 

 

Port

This is the port index number.

 

 

PD

Select this to provide power to a PD connected to the port.

 

If left unchecked, the PD connected to the port cannot receive power from the

 

Switch.

 

 

PD Priority

This field is not available for the Gigabit or mini-GBIC ports.

 

When the total power requested by the PDs exceeds the total PoE power budget on

 

the Switch, you can set the PD priority to allow the Switch to provide power to

 

ports with higher priority.

 

Select Critical to give the PD connected to this port the highest priority.

 

Select High to set the Switch to assign the remaining power to the port after all

 

critical priority ports are served.

 

Select Low to set the Switch to assign the remaining power to the port after all

 

critical and high priority ports are served.

 

 

Apply

Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The Switch

 

loses these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the

 

top navigation panel to save your changes to the nonvolatile memory when you

 

are done configuring.

 

 

Cancel

Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
