System PoE Configuration

The Power Configuration screen allows you to set the PoE
power allocation from the Switch to connected devices .

System PoE Configuration

The Switch’s power management enables total Switch
power and individual port power to be controlled within a
configured power budget . Port power can be automatically
turned on and off for connected devices, and a per-port
power priority can be set so that the Switch never exceeds
its allocated power budget . When a device is connected
to a port, its power requirements are detected by the
Switch before power is supplied . If the power required
by a device exceeds the power budget of the port or the
whole Switch, power is not supplied .

Port PoE Status

The Power Port Status screen allows you to view the current
PoE settings for each port on the Switch .

Power Port Status

Ports can be set to one of three power priority levels:
crtcal, hgh, or low . To control the power supply within
the Switch’s budget, ports set at critical or high priority
have power enabled in preference to those ports set at
low priority . For example, when a device is connected to a
port set to critical priority, the Switch supplies the required
power, if necessary by dropping power to ports set for a
lower priority . If power is dropped to some low-priority
ports and later the power demands on the Switch fall back
within its budget, the dropped power is automatically
restored .

Port PoE Configuration

The Power Port Configuration screen allows you to set the
PoE settings for each port . Select the Edt action and use
the left-rght and up-down arrows to select the attribute
you would like to set . You can set the Admin Status, the
Priority, and the Power Allocation . Use the Save action to
save the new settings .
