Power over ETHERNET

Devices with Power over ETHERNET (PoE) media modules or PoE ports enable you to supply current to terminal devices such as IP phones via the twisted-pair cable. PoE media modules and PoE ports support Power over ETHERNET in accordance with IEEE 802.3af.
The Power over ETHERNET function is globally active and the PoE-capable ports are active on delivery.

Nominal power for MS20/30, MACH 1000 and PowerMICE:
The device provides the nominal power for the sum of all PoE ports plus a surplus. Because the PoE media module gets its PoE voltage externally, the device does not know the possible nominal power.
The device therefore assumes a “nominal power” of 60 Watt per PoE media module for now.

Nominal power for OCTOPUS 8M-PoE and OCTOPUS 24M-8PoE:
The device provides the nominal power for the sum of all PoE ports plus a surplus. Because the device gets its PoE voltage externally, the device does not know the possible nominal power.
The device therefore assumes a “nominal power” of 15 Watt per PoE port for now.

Nominal power for MACH 4000:
The device provides the nominal power for the sum of all PoE ports plus a surplus. Should the connected devices require more PoE power than is provided, the device then switches PoE off at the ports. Initially, the device switches PoE off at the ports with the lowest PoE priority. If multiple ports have the same priority, the device first switches PoE off at the ports with the higher port number.

Frame "Configuration":

The difference between the "nominal" and "reserved" power indicates how much power is still available to the free PoE+ ports.

Port Table:

The table only shows ports that support PoE.

“Set”

Transfers the changes to the volatile memory (RAM) of the device. To permanently save the changes, open the Basic Settings:Load/Save dialog, select the location to save the configuration, and click “Save”.

“Reload”

Updates the fields with the values that are saved in the volatile memory (RAM) of the device.
