276 Managing General System Settings
Per-Port Power Limit Configurable power limit for each PoE-Plus port.
Power Management 
Modes
Supports two power-management modes:
• Static—Allows you to reserve a guaranteed amount of 
power for a PoE port. This is useful for powering up devices 
which draw variable amount of power and provide them an 
assured power range to operate within. 
• Dynamic—Power is not reserved for a given port at any 
point of time. The power available with the PoE switch is 
calculated by subtracting the instantaneous power drawn 
by all the ports from the maximum available power. Thus 
more ports can be powered at the same time. This feature 
is useful to efficiently power up more number of devices 
when the available power with the PoE switch is limited
Power Detection Mode Allows you to set the mode to legacy or 4-point 802.3AF 
detection. Enabling an additional high-power setting will 
allow the detection of 802.1at devices.
Powered Device (PD) 
Disconnection 
Detection Mode
Configurable setting to set the method that determines 
when a PD has disconnected from a port:
• AC Disconnect—Assumes that when a valid PD is 
connected to a port, the AC impedance measured on its 
terminals is significantly lower than in the case of an open 
port (disconnected PD)
• DC Disconnect—Measures current consumption to 
determine when a PD stops consuming current.
