Figure 2 - 35 PoE System Settings window
The following parameters can be configured:
Parameter Description
Power Limit
(37-370)
Sets the limit of power to be used from the Switch’s power source to PoE ports. The user may
configure a Power Limit between 37 and 370W for the DES-3528P. The default setting is
370W.
Power Disconnect
Method
The PoE controller uses either Deny Next Port or Deny Low Priority Port to offset the power
limit being exceeded and keeps the Switch’s power at a usable level. Use the drop down
menu to select a Power Disconnect Method. The default Power Disconnect Method is Deny
Next Port. Both Power Disconnection Methods are described below:
Deny Next Port - After the power limit has been exceeded, the next port attempting to power
up is denied, regardless of its priority. If Power Disconnection Method is set to Deny Next Port,
the system cannot utilize out of its maximum power capacity. The maximum unused watt is
19W.
Deny Low Priority Port - After the power limit has been exceeded, the next port attempting to
power up causes the port with the lowest priority to shut down so as to allow the high-priority
and critical priority ports to power up.
