DESCRIPTION
PoE Mode
Select the power management mode you want the Switch to use.
•
Classification - Select this if you want the Switch to reserve the Max Power (mW)
to each PD according to the power classification of the PD. If the total power supply
available is not enough to supply all connected PDs, then PDs with lower priority do
not get power to function.
•
Consumption - Select this if you want the Switch to manage the total power
supply so that each connected PD gets a resource. However, the power allocated by
the Switch may be less than the Max Power (mW) of the PD. PDs with higher
priority also get more power than those with lower priority levels.
Port
This is the port index number.
PD
Select this to provide power to a PD connected to the port.
If left unchecked, the PD connected to the port cannot receive power from the Switch.
PD Priority
This field is not available for the SFP or SFP+ ports.
When the total power requested by the PDs exceeds the total PoE power budget on the
Switch, you can set the PD priority to allow the Switch to provide power to ports with
higher priority.
Select Critical to give the PD connected to this port the highest priority.
Select High to set the Switch to assign the remaining power to the port after all critical
priority ports are served.
Select Low to set the Switch to assign the remaining power to the port after all critical
and high priority ports are served.
