Basic Settings for Port

Name Enter a name for the port.
Port Status To use this port, check the box.
Note: If you disable a port, its PoE functionality
remains.
PoE PoE is disabled by default on all ports. To output PoE
to the connected device, select 24V or 48V (48V available
only on the TOUGHSwitch PoE PRO). To disable PoE,
select Off.
Note: Before enabling PoE, check the specifications
of your airMAX, UniFi, legacy, or third-party devices
to ensure they support passive PoE and require the
available amount of voltage. The TOUGHSwitch PoE
offers 24V passive PoE, and the TOUGHSwitch PoE
PRO offers 24V or 48V passive PoE.
Link Speed, Mbps By default, Auto is enabled. The
TOUGHSwitch automatically negotiates transmission
parameters, such as speed and duplex, with its
counterpart. In this process, the networked devices
first share their capabilities and then choose the fastest
transmission mode they both support.
Note: Auto applies only to speed and duplex, not
POE.
To manually specify the maximum transmission link speed
and duplex mode, select 100Mbps-Full, 100Mbps-Half,
10Mbps-Full, or 10Mbps-Half. Full-duplex mode allows
communication in both directions simultaneously.
Half-duplex mode allows communication in one direction
at a time, alternating between transmission and reception.
To achieve full performance with extra-long Ethernet
cables, ensure that you use CAT6-qualified cables and
interconnects.

Flow Control Enabled by default. Flow Control allows
the port to manage data rates in case the sending and
receiving devices use different data transmission rates.

Ping Watchdog for Port

Ping Watchdog is only for PoE-enabled ports. It configures
the device to continuously ping a user-defined IP address
(it can be the Internet gateway, for example). If it is
unable to ping under the user-defined constraints, then
the device will automatically turn off PoE on the port,
and then turn it back on. This option creates a kind of
"fail-proof" mechanism.
Ping Watchdog is dedicated to continuous monitoring of
the specific connection to the remote host using the Ping
tool. The Ping tool works by sending ICMP echo request
packets to the target host and listening for ICMP echo
response replies. If the specified number of replies is not
received, the tool reboots the device.
Port Ping Watchdog Enables use of Ping Watchdog.
• IP Address To Ping Specify the IP address of the target
host to be monitored by Ping Watchdog.
• Ping Interval Specify the time interval (in seconds)
between the ICMP echo requests that are sent by Ping
Watchdog. The default value is 15 seconds.
• Startup Delay Specify the initial time delay (in seconds)
until the first ICMP echo requests are sent by Ping
Watchdog. The default value is 300 seconds.
The Startup Delay value should be at least 60 seconds
as the network interface and wireless connection
initialization takes a considerable amount of time if the
device is rebooted.
• Failure Count Specify the number of ICMP echo
response replies. If the specified number of ICMP echo
response packets is not received continuously, Ping
Watchdog will reboot the device. The default value is 3.
• Cut Power for Specify the number of seconds this port
should pause PoE (if applicable). The default value is
5 seconds.
WARNING: Cutting power during a firmware
upgrade can damage your device. Ensure that you
specify a safe Ping Interval.
