Use this screen to set the priority levels for the Switch in distributing power to PDs.
Click the PoE Setup link in the Basic Setting > PoE Status screen. The following screen opens.
Chapter 6 Basic Setting
DESCRIPTION
This field shows which ports can receive power from the Switch. You can set this in the
Basic Setting > PoE Setup screen.
• Disable - The PD connected to this port cannot get power.
• Enable - The PD connected to this port can receive power.
This shows the power classification of the PD.
This is a number from 0 to 4, where each value represents a range of power (W) and
current (mA) that the PD requires to function. The ranges are as follows.
• Class 0 - Default, 0.44 to 12.94
• Class 1 - Optional, 0.44 to 3.84
• Class 2 - Optional, 3.84 to 6.49
• Class 3 - Optional, 6.49 to 12.95
• Class 4 - Reserved (PSEs classify as Class 0) in a switch that supports IEEE 802.3af
only. Optional, 12.95 to 25.50 in a switch that supports IEEE 802.3at.
When the total power requested by the PDs exceeds the total PoE power budget on the
Switch, you can set the PD priority to allow the Switch to provide power to ports with
higher priority first.
• Critical has the highest priority.
• High has the Switch assign power to the port after all critical priority ports are
served.
• Low has the Switch assign power to the port after all critical and high priority ports
are served.
This field displays the current amount of power consumed by the PD from the Switch
on this port.
This field displays the maximum amount of power the PD could use from the Switch on
this port.
This field displays the maximum amount of current drawn by the PD from the Switch
on this port.
