Gigabit Ethernet Plus Switches Manage the power saving mode The power saving mode enables the IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) function, cable length power saving, and link-up and link-down power saving: • IEEE 802.3az. Combines the Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) 802.3 MAC sublayer with the 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T, and 10GBASE-T physical layers to support operation in Low Power Idle (LPI) mode. When LPI mode is enabled, systems on both sides of the link can disable portions of their functionality and save power during periods of low link utilization. • Short cable power saving. Dynamically detects and adjusts power that is required for the detected cable length. • Link-down power saving. Reduces the power consumption considerably when the network cable is disconnected. When the network cable is reconnected, the switch detects an incoming signal and restores normal power. By default, the power saving mode is disabled. To manage the power saving mode on the switch: 1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the switch, or connected directly to the switch through an Ethernet cable. 2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the switch. A login window opens. 3. Enter the device management password. The password is the one that you specified the first time that you logged in. The password is case-sensitive. The HOME page displays. 4. From the menu at the top of the page, select SETTINGS. 5. From the menu on the left, select POWER SAVING. The POWER SAVING pop-up window opens. 6. Enable or disable the power saving mode by clicking the button. When the power saving mode is enabled, the button bar displays green. 7. Click the APPLY button. Your settings are saved. Maintain and Monitor the Switch 76 User Manual
