PoE Port Config

PoE Configuration

The switch can provide DC power to a wide range of connected devices,
eliminating the need for an additional power source and cutting down on the
amount of cables attached to each device. Once configured to supply power, an
automatic detection process is initialized by the switch that is authenticated by a
PoE signature from the connected device.
The switch's power management enables individual port power to be controlled
within the switch's power budget. Port power can be automatically turned on and
off for connected devices. When a device is connected to a switch port, its power
requirements are detected by the switch before power is supplied. If the power
required by a device exceeds the power budget of the port or the whole switch, port
power is not supplied.
This chapter describes the following topics:
PoE Port Config — Enables PoE on ports and displays the status of connected

devices.
PoE System Power — Displays the current status of PoE power usage on the

switch.
PD Alive — Configures periodic checking of connected PoE powered devices.

PoE Timer Rule — Configures daily time limits during which PoE power is

available on ports.
PoE Timer Set — Assigns configured timer rules to specific ports.

Poe Extend Mode — Configures ports for a long-reach mode of operation

where the transmission distance can be extended up to 250 meters.
Use the PoE > PoE Port Config page to enable PoE on ports and view the status of
PoE power supplied to connected devices.
Usage Guidelines
The ECS1100-5P and ECS1100-10HP switches support the IEEE 802.3af PoE

and IEEE 802.3at-2009 PoE+ standards, and the ECS1100-10HP switch also
supports the IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ standard on ports 1-4.
