• Power Priority Level—Select the port priority: low, high, or critical, for use 
when the power supply is low. For example, if the power supply is running at 
99% usage and port 1 is prioritized as high, but port 3 is prioritized as low, 
port 1 receives power and port 3 might be denied power. 
• Administrative Power Allocation—This field is displayed only if the Power 
Mode set in the PoE Properties page is Port Limit. If the Power mode is 
Power Limit, enter the power in milliwatts allocated to the port. The range is 
0 to 15,400. 
• Max Power Allocation—Displays the maximum amount of power permitted 
on this port. 
• Class—This field is displayed only if the Power Mode set in the 
PoE 
Properties
 page is Class Limit. The class determines the power level:
• Power Consumption—Displays the amount of power in milliwatts assigned 
to the powered device connected to the selected interface. 
• Overload Counter—Displays the total number of power overload 
occurrences. 
• Short Counter—Displays the total number of power shortage occurrences. 
• Denied Counter—Displays number of times the powered device was 
denied power.
• Absent Counter—Displays the number of times that power was stopped to 
the powered device, because the powered device was no longer detected. 
• Invalid Signature Counter—Displays the times an invalid signature was 
received. Signatures are the means by which the powered device identifies 
itself to the PSE. Signatures are generated during powered device 
detection, classification, or maintenance.
