58-1  config power_saving mode 
Description 
This command is used to set the power saving state.  
For link detection and length detection function, they apply to the ports with copper media. If the 
power saving link detection state is enabled, the power is saved by following mechanisms: 
•  When no links are detected on the port, the port will automatically turn off and will only wake 
up the second a single link pulse is sent. While the port is turned off, a simple energy-detect 
circuit will continuously monitor energy on the cable. The moment energy is detected; the port 
will turn on fully as to the IEEE specification’s requirements. The power saving function is 
performed while no link is detected and it will not affect the port capabilities while the link is up. 
•  When a link is detected on the port, for a shorter cable, the power consumption will be reduced 
by lowering the signal amplitude, since the signal attenuation is proportional to the cable 
length. The port will adjust the power based on the cable length and still maintain error free 
applications from both sides of the link. This mechanism is only available using the hardware 
support cable diagnostics function. 
If the power saving state of port is disabled, all power saving schedules of port will not take effect. 
If the power saving state of port LED is disabled, all power saving schedules of port LED will not 
take effect. 
If the power saving state of system hibernation is disabled, all power saving schedules of system 
hibernation will not take effect.
