Saving Power
determine whether or not it can reduce the signal amplitude used on a
particular link.
Note:
Power savings can only be implemented on Gigabit Ethernet ports when
using twisted-pair cabling. Power-savings mode on a active link only works when
connection speed is 1 Gbps, and line length is less than 60 meters.
Parameters
These parameters are displayed:
◆
Port – Power saving mode only applies to the Gigabit Ethernet ports using
copper media. (Range: 1-8/24)
◆
Power Saving Status – Adjusts the power provided to ports based on the
length of the cable used to connect to other devices. Only sufficient power is
used to maintain connection requirements. (Default: Enabled on Gigabit
Ethernet RJ-45 ports)
Web Interface
To enable power savings:
1.
Click Interface, Green Ethernet.
2.
Mark the Enabled check box for a port.
3.
Click Apply.
