Setting the Capacitor Detection Method
By default, the PowerDsine capacitor detection method is disabled on an OmniSwitch. To enable it, use
the
lanpower capacitor-detection
command by entering
lanpower capacitor-detection
followed by the
slot number and
enable
.
For example, to enable the capacitor detection method on the switch with slot number 1, enter:
-> lanpower capacitor-detection 1 enable
To disable it, use the
lanpower capacitor-detection
command by entering
lanpower capacitor-detec-
tion
followed by the slot number and
disable
.
For example, to disable the capacitor detection method on the switch with slot number 1, enter:
-> lanpower capacitor-detection 1 disable
Note.
The capacitive detection method should only be enabled to support legacy IP phones. This feature is
not
compatible with IEEE specification 802.3af. Please contact your Alcatel-Lucent sales engineer or
Customer Support representative to find out which Alcatel-Lucent IP phones models need capacitive
detection enabled.
