ProSAFE 8-Port or 16-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Switch Model GS418TPP, GS510TLP, and GS510TPP Configure Green Ethernet Settings You can configure the green Ethernet features to reduce power consumption. To configure the Green Ethernet settings: 1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch. You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable. 2. Launch a web browser. 3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch. If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Change the Default IP Address of the Switch on page 11. The login window opens. 4. Enter the switch's password in the Password field. The default password is password. The System Information page displays. 5. Select System > Management > Green Ethernet > Green Ethernet Configuration. 6. Select the Auto Power Down Mode Disable or Enable radio button. By default, this mode is disabled. When a port link is down, the underlying physical layer goes down for a short period and then checks for port link pulses again so that auto-negotiation remains possible. In this way, the switch saves power when no link partner is present for the port. 7. Select the EEE Mode Disable or Enable radio button. By default, this mode is disabled. Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) combines the MAC with a family of physical layers that support operation in a low power mode. It is defined by the IEEE 802.3az standard. Lower power mode enables both the send and receive sides of the link to disable some functionality for power savings when lightly loaded. Transition to low power mode does not change the link status. Frames in transit are not dropped or corrupted in transition to and from low power mode. Transition time is transparent to upper layer protocols and applications. 8. Click the Apply button. The updated configuration is sent to the switch. Configuration changes take effect immediately. Configure System Information 67
