- Traps —Enables or Disables receiving PoE device traps. The default is disabled.
Port Settings
- Select a Port —Select the port from the pick list. This is the specific interface for which PoE
parameters are defined and assigned to the powered interface connected to the selected port.
-
PoE Admin Status — Select the status from the pick list. This indicates the device’s 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 — A read-only display. Indicates if the port is enabled to work on PoE.
The possible field values are:
Delivering Power–The device is delivering power to the interface.
On–The device is on (and delivering power to the interface).
Off–The device is not delivering power to the interface.
Tes t Fail –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.
Te s t i n g –The powered device is being tested. For example, a powered device is tested to con-
firm it is receiving power from the power supply.
Searching–The PowerConnect device is currently searching for a powered device. Searching
is the default PoE operational status.
Fault –The PowerConnect device has detected a fault on the powered device. For example,
the powered device memory could not be read.
- Power Priority Level —Select from the pick list. 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 runs 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 —A read-only display. 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:
