The port configuration consists of:
X Switching the port on and off
X Selecting the operating mode
X Activating the display of connection error messages
X Configuring Power over ETHERNET.
Switching the port on and off
In the state on delivery, all the ports are switched on. For a higher level of
access security, switch off the ports at which you are not making any con-
nection.

tion" operating mode.
Note: The active automatic configuration has priority over the manual
