Energy-Detect Mode
When Energy-Detect mode is enabled, if communication on a port stops, the port circuitry
automatically shuts down for a short period. The port wakes up periodically to check for link
activity. If activity is detected, the port circuitry remains active. This allows performing
autonegotiation and saving power when there is no active link.
Note: Combination ports support both copper and fiber media. Energy
Detect mode only applies to copper media. If Energy Detect mode is
configured on a combination port, it will only function when a copper
media is active.
