34.2 PoE Setup
Use this screen to set the PoE power management mode, priority levels, power-up mode and the
maximum amount of power for the connected PDs.
Click the PoE Setup tab in the PORT > PoE Setup screen. The following screen opens.
Class This shows the power classification of the PD. Each PD has a specified maximum power that fall
under one of the classes.
The Class is a number from 0 to 6, where each value represents the range of power that the
Switch provides to the PD. The power ranges in PoE standards are as follows.
• Class 0 – default: 0.44 W to 15.4 W.
• Class 1 – default: 0.44 W to 4 W.
• Class 2 – default: 0.44 W to 7 W.
• Class 3 – default: 0.44 W to 15.4 W.
• Class 4 – default: 0.44 W to 30 W.
• Class 5 – default: 0.45 W to 45 W.
• Class 6 – default: 0.45 W to 60 W.
Note: You can extend or set a limit on the maximum power the connected PD can
use on a port in PORT > PoE Setup > PoE Setup.
Priority When the total power requested by the PDs exceeds the total PoE power budget on the Switch,
you can set the priority to allow the Switch to provide power to ports with higher priority first.
• Critical has the highest priority.
• High has the Switch assign power to the port after all critical priority ports are served.
• Low has the Switch assign power to the port after all critical and high priority ports are
served.
Power-Up This field displays the PoE standard the Switch uses to provide power on this port.
Consuming
Power (W)
This field displays the current amount of power consumed by the PD from the Switch on this port.
Max Power (W) This field displays the maximum amount of power the PD could use from the Switch on this port.
This field displays “–” if the maximum power is not specified in PORT > PoE Setup > PoE Setup.
Time-Range
State
This field shows whether or not the port currently receives power from the Switch according to its
schedule.
• It shows “In” followed by the time range name if PoE is currently enabled on the port.
• It shows “Out” if PoE is currently disabled on the port.
• It shows “–” if no schedule is applied to the port. PoE is enabled by default.
