1198 CHAPTER 93: POE CONFIGURATION
Online PSE processing software upgrade may be unexpectedly interrupted (for 
example, an error results in device reboot). If you fail to upgrade the PSE 
processing software in full mode after reboot, you can power off the device and 
restart it before upgrading it again. After upgrade, restart the device manually to 
make the original PoE configurations take effect.
Follow these steps to upgrade the PSE processing software online:
Configuring a PD 
Disconnection 
Detection Mode
To detect the PD connection with PSE, PoE provides two detection modes: AC 
detection and DC detection. The AC detection mode is energy saving relative to 
the DC detection mode.
Follow these steps to configure a PD disconnection detection mode:

CAUTION: If you adjust the PD disconnection detection mode when the device is 
running, the connected PDs will be powered off. Therefore, be cautious to do so.
Enabling the PSE to 
Detect Nonstandard 
PDs
There are standard PDs and nonstandard PDs. Usually, the PSE can detect only 
standard PDs and supply power to them. The PSE can detect nonstandard PDs and 
supply power to them only after the PSE is enabled to detect nonstandard PDs.
Follow these steps to enable the PSE to detect nonstandard PDs:
