Setting the Capacitor Detection Method
By default, the PowerDsine capacitor detection method is disabled on the OS7-ENI-P24. To enable it use
the
command by entering
lanpower capacitor-detection
followed by the
slot number of the OS7-ENI-P24 and
enable
.
For example, to enable the capacitor detection method on the OS7-ENI-P24 with slot number 2 enter:
lanpower capacitor-detection 2 enable
To disable it use the
command by entering
lanpower capacitor-detection
followed by the slot number of the OS7-ENI-P24 and
disable
.
For example, to disable the capacitor detection method on the OS7-ENI-P24 with slot number 2 enter:
lanpower capacitor-detection 2 disable
Note.
The capacitive detection method should only be enabled to support legacy IP phones only—this
feature is
not
compatible with IEEE specification 802.3af. Please contact your Alcatel sales engineer or
Customer Support representative to find out which Alcatel IP phones models need capacitive detection
enabled.
