GS752TP, GS728TP, and GS728TPP Gigabit Smart Switches The following screen displays: 2. Enable or disable the Auto Power Down Mode. • Enable. When the port link is down, the PHY automatically goes down for a short period and then wakes up to check link pulses. This allows the port to continue to perform autonegotiation while consuming less power when no link partner is present. • Disable. Provide full power to the PHY even if no link partner is present. 3. Enable or disable the Short Cable Mode. • Enable. When the port link is up at 1-Gbps speed, the cable length test is performed. If the cable length is less than 10 meters, PHYs are put into the low-power mode so only enough power is used to support a short cable. • Disable. Provide full power to the PHY regardless of cable length. 4. Enable or disable the EEE Mode. • Enable. Enter a low-power mode and disable some functionality for power savings when the link is lightly loaded. • Disable. Provide full power to the PHY always. 5. Click APPLY to apply the change to the system. Configuration changes take effect immediately.
