Status of Power Ports
Red
Solid
The system has failed to determine 
the PD power requirements for this 
port. Perhaps this PD is not an 
802.3af-2003 compliant or Cisco 
legacy power device. It could also 
be a port configured for 802.3af-
2003 and an alternate PoE device 
has been connected. 
 
Also, pins (4,5) & (7,8) of a 
connected non-powered device 
such as a PC may be terminated in 
such a way that the power patch 
panel attempts to detect it as a PD. 
The Element Manager may be used 
to turn detection off (see Element 
Manager section) to this port so no 
further checks occur. The LED will 
extinguish. 
 
This may also be an indication of a 
short in the wiring. The connections 
at both ends of the horizontal 
cabling should be checked to 
ensure proper wiring has been 
followed. 
Power is NOT being 
delivered down this port on 
the panel.

The panel is currently trying 
to acquire DHCP address 
information from the network. 
If this persists for more than a minute or 
two, the daisy chain of connections 
between multiple panels may be 
incorrect or there are problems at the 
DHCP server.
