2.3.6 Alive Check
The  FGSD/FGSW  802.3at  PoE+ Switch  series  can  be  configured  to  monitor 
connected PD’s status in real time via traffic detection. Once there is no traffic at 
interval time, the FGSD/FGSW 802.3at PoE+ Switch series is going to restart PoE 
port power, and bring the PD back to work. It will greatly enhance the reliability 
and reduce administrator management burden.

Trac detection counter
The  switch  detects  no  trac  during  this  time  and  countdown 
for interval time begins and port begins to reboot. The default 
interval time is 180 seconds.

PoE Port Disable Timer
This column allows user to set the PoE device rebooting time.
The default power o time is 5 seconds.
The  PD  Alive  Check  is  not  a  dening  standard,  so  the  PoE  device  on  the  market 
doesn’t report reboots done information to the PoE Switch. So user has to make sure 
how  long  it  takes  for  the  PD  to  nish  booting,  and  then  set  the  time  value  related 
column. The system is going to check the PD again according to the reboot time. If 
you cannot make sure the precise booting time, we suggest you set it longer.
