Green Ethernet Configuration
Use this page to configure Green Ethernet features. Using the Green Ethernet Configuration
features allows for power consumption savings.
To access this page, click System  Management  Green Ethernet  Green Ethernet
Configuration.
To configure the Green Ethernet Configuration feature:
1. Enable or disable the Auto Power Down Mode.
• Enable. When the port link is down, the PHY will automatically go down for a short
period of time and then wake up to check link pulses. This allows the port to continue
to perform auto-negotiation while consuming less power when no link partner is
present.
• Disable. Provide full power to the PHY even if no link partner is present.
2. Enable or disable the Short Cable Mode.
• Enable. When the port link up at 1 Gbps speed, the cable length test is performed
and if the length of the cable is <10m, then 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 even if no link partner is present.
3. Enable or disable the EEE Mode.
• Enable this option by selecting the corresponding line on the radio button.
• Disable. Provide full power to the PHY even if no link partner is present.
4. Click Apply to apply the change to the system. Configuration changes take effect
immediately.
