Settings for Power over Ethernet
SCALANCE devices of the "PoE" version, can supply other PoE-compliant devices with
power via an Ethernet cable. For each individual PoE port, you can specify whether or not
the power will be supplied via Ethernet. You can also set a priority for each connected
powered device (PD). Devices for which a high priority was set, take preference over other
devices for the power supply.
The overview page shows information on the power supplied by the SCALANCE device with
PoE and detailed information on each individual PoE port.
