Setting the Power Management Mode
You can configure how the AT-FS750/24POE Fast Ethernet Smart Switch
allocates power to the PoE powered devices connected to the switch. The
two modes are automation-based and allocation-based.
When you select automation-based power operation, the power
management function automatically selects the mode of operation
according to how you configured the port itself.
If you select allocation-based power operation, you must manually
configure the power allocation for each PoE port, up to 20,000 mW.
To set the power management mode, perform the following procedure:
1. From the main menu, select PoE.
The Power over Ethernet page is shown in Figure 11 on page 36.
2. For the Power Mode, select one of the following:
Automation-based
The power management function automatically selects the amount of
power for each PoE port. You do not need to perform any other
configuration, however you MUST save the configuration for PoE
power to be applied to the port:
Allocation-based
You allocate how much power each port should receive.
If you chose allocation-based power budgeting, go on to step 9.
3. Click Modify.
4. Click OK.
5. From the main menu, select Save Configuration.
6. The Save Configuration page is shown in Figure 3 on page 13.
7. Click OK.
8. From the main menu, select PoE.
The Power over Ethernet page is shown in Figure 11 on page 36.
If you switched from one mode to the other, click Reload to refresh the
list of ports. When you switch from allocation-based to automation-
based, the power allocations you made are not removed but have no
function.
