Setting the PoE Threshold
The PoE threshold is a percentage of the total maximum PoE power on
the switch, which for the AT-8524POE switch is 400 W. If the total power
requirements of the powered devices exceed this threshold, the switch
sends an SNMP trap to your management workstation and enters an
event in the event log. At the default setting of 95%, the threshold is
exceeded when the PoE devices require more than 380 W, which is 95%
of 400 W. The threshold is adjustable. Of course, for your management
workstations to receive traps from the switch, you must configure SNMP
on the switch by specifying the IP address of the workstations.
To configure the PoE threshold, perform the following procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, type 6 to select Advanced Configuration.
2. From the Advanced Configuration menu, type 2 to select Power Over
Ethernet Configuration menu.
The Power Over Ethernet Configuration menu is shown in Figure 116.

3. From the Power Over Ethernet Configuration menu, type 1 to select
PoE Global Configuration. The PoE Global Configuration menu is
shown in Figure 117.
