Port Settings Select a Port - Indicates the specific interface for which PoE parameters are defined and assigned to the powered interface connected to the selected port. PoE 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 Operational 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 PowerConnect device is currently searching for a powered device. Searching is the default PoE operational status. Fault - Indicates that the PowerConnect device has detected a fault on the powered device. For example, the powered device memory could not be read. Power Priority Level - Determines the port priority if the power supply is low. The port power priority is used if the power supply is low. The field default is low. For example, if the power supply is running at 99% usage, and port 1 is prioritized as high, but port 3 is prioritized as low, port 1 is prioritized to receive power, and port 3 may be denied power. Critical - Assigns the highest power priority level. High - Assigns the second highest power priority level. Low - Assigns the lowest power priority level. Power Consumption - Indicates the amount of power assigned to the powered device connected to the selected interface. Devices are classified by the powered device, and the PowerConnect devices use the classification information. The field values are represented in Watts. The possible field values are: 0.44 - 12.95 - Indicates that the port is assigned a power consumption level of .44 to 12.95 Watts. 0.44 - 3.8 - Indicates that the port is assigned a power consumption level of .44 to 3.8 Watts.
