POE RESET
Figure 1. PoE DIP switch – Default setting shown (PoE enabled)
There are two PoE DIP Switches. One is for a Hardware Reset (HW RESET). The other is for an Auto
Reset (AUTO RESET). By default, PoE is set to ON, and supplying PoE, Power over Ethernet.
Hardware Reset
: When the DIP Switch #1 is set to the ON position, the PoE function will be turned off,
and the power sourcing for a PD device is unavailable. However, the port can still provide an Ethernet
connection to any device not requiring Power over Ethernet.
Auto Reset
: When DIP Switch #2 is set to the ON position, the PoE reset function is enabled. This
supports a reset of the remote PD device. This means that no one will be required to go to the remote
site to reset the switch. If both SFP port LEDs show a link down condition, the PoE function (power
sourcing) will be disabled to save power. If at least one of the SFP ports has an active link, the PoE
function will work. If DIP Switch #2 is set to OFF, the Auto Reset function is disabled and cannot save
power under link down condition for an SFP port.
