Defining Poe Interfaces - D-Link DES-3010PA - Switch Web User Manual

Defining PoE Interfaces

The Power Over Ethernet Interface Page contains information for configuring PoE interfaces, including the inter-
face PoE operation status and the interface's power consumption. To define PoE for interfaces:
Click the System > Power over Ethernet > Interface tab. The Power Over Ethernet Interface Page opens:
1.
Figure 25: Power Over Ethernet Interface Page
The Power Over Ethernet Interface Page contains the following fields:
•
Port — Indicates the specific interface for which PoE parameters are defined, and assigned to the powered
interface connected to the selected port.
•
Admin Status — Indicates the device PoE mode. The possible field values are:
–
Auto — Enables the Device Discovery protocol, and provides power to the device using the PoE module.
The Device Discovery Protocol enables the device to discover Powered Devices attached to the device
interfaces, and to learn their classification. This is the default settings.
–
Never — Disables the Device Discovery protocol, and stops the power supply to the device using the
PoE module.
•
PoE Operation Status — Indicates if the port is enabled to work on PoE. The possible field values are:
–
On — Indicates the device is delivering power to the interface.
–
Off — Indicates the device is not delivering power to the interface.
–
Test Fail —Indicates the powered device test has failed. For example, a port could not be enabled and
cannot be used to deliver power to the powered device.
–
Testing — Indicates the powered device is being tested. For example, a powered device is tested to
confirm it is receiving power from the power supply.
–
Searching — Indicates that the device is currently searching for a powered device. Searching is the
default PoE operational status.
