Configuring PoE Port Settings

This procedure enables and disables PoE on a port. This procedure also
sets a port’s priority level and its maximum power usage.

The default setting for PoE on a port is enabled. You do not have to
disable PoE on ports that are connected to non-powered devices (that is,
devices that receive their power from another power source). A port
connected to a network node that is not a powered device functions as a
regular Ethernet port, without PoE. The PoE feature remains activated on
the port but no power is delivered to the device.

To configure PoE port settings, do the following:

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 appears only for AT-8524POE switches.

4. In the graphic image of the switch, click the port you want to

configure. A selected port turns white. You can configure more than
one port at a time.

5. Click Modify.

The PoE Port Configuration menu is shown in Figure 57.
