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 addresses of the workstations.

To configure the PoE threshold, perform the following procedure:

1. From the Home Page, select Configuration.

2. Select the System menu option.

3. Select the Power Over Ethernet tab.

Note

The Power Over Ethernet tab only appears for AT-8524POE switches.

The Power Over Ethernet tab is shown in Figure 56.
