ProSAFE 10-Gigabit Smart Managed Switch XS728T and XS748T User Manual
 To configure the Green Ethernet settings:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Change the Default IP Address of the
Switch on page 10.
The login window opens.
4. Enter the switch’s password in the Password field.
The default password is password.
The System Information page displays.
5. Select System > Management > Green Ethernet > Green Ethernet Configuration.
Auto Power Down mode is always enabled. (You cannot disable it.) When the port link is
down, the physical layer (PHY) automatically shuts down for a short period and wakes up
to check link pulses. This mode reduces power consumption on the port when no link
partner is present.
Short Cable mode is always enabled. (You cannot disable it.) When the cable length is
less than a certain limit, the PHY goes into low power mode.
6. Select the EEE Mode Disable or Enable radio button.
Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) combines the MAC with a family of physical layers that
support operation in a low power mode. It is defined by IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient
Task Force. Lower power mode enables both the send and receive sides of the link to
disable some functionality for power savings when lightly loaded. Transition to low power
mode does not change the link status. Frames in transit are not dropped or corrupted in
transition to and from low power mode. Transition time is transparent to upper layer
protocols and applications.
7. Click the Apply button.
The updated configuration is sent to the switch. Configuration changes take effect
immediately.
