Configuring Power Over Ethernet - NETGEAR FS728TS User Manual

Configuring Power over Ethernet

Power over Ethernet (PoE) provides power to devices over existing LAN cabling without updating or modifying the network infrastructure. This
removes the limitation of placing network devices close to power sources. Power over Ethernet can be used in the following applications:
•
IP Phones
•
Wireless Access Points
•
IP Gateways
•
Audio and video remote monitoring
Powered Devices are devices that receive power from the device power supplies, for example IP phones. Powered Devices are connected to the
device via Ethernet ports. PoE is available on for the FS752TPS.
The PoE Configuration Page contains system PoE information for enabling PoE on the device, monitoring the current power usage, and enabling
PoE traps.
To enable PoE on the device:
1. Click PoE Configuration. PoE Configuration Page opens:
The PoE Configuration Page contains the following fields:
•
Unit No. — Displays the stacking member for which the PoE information is displayed.
•
Power Status — Indicates the inline power source status. The possible field values are:
On — Indicates that the power supply unit is functioning.
–
Off — Indicates that the power supply unit is not functioning.
–
Faulty — Indicates that the power supply unit is functioning, but an error has occurred. For example, a power overload or a short circuit.
