Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the switch, or connected directly to the switch through an Ethernet cable. - Page 97 Gigabit Ethernet Plus Switches mode for a PD that does not perform Layer 2 classification, or if the switch performs 2-event Layer 1 classification. • 802.3at: The port is powered in the IEEE 802.3at mode and is backward compatible with IEEE 802.3af. In this mode, if the switch detects that the attached PD requests more power than IEEE 802.3af, but is not an IEEE 802.3at Class 4 device, the PD does not receive power from the port.

Page 98: Display Poe Port Status
Gigabit Ethernet Plus Switches Display PoE port status You can display the PoE port status, including the amount of power delivered to the PD, and the fault status. To display the PoE port status through the device UI: 1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the switch, or connected directly to the switch through an Ethernet cable. -
