changes the priority value of port 22 of the OmniSwitch 6850 Series slot 8 to the highest priority level of
critical. Now that the default value has been reconfigured, this port should be reserved for those PDs that
are mission critical for network operations.
Setting the Capacitor Detection Method
By default, the PowerDsine capacitor detection method is disabled. To enable it, use the
lanpower capaci-
tor-detection
command by entering
lanpower capacitor-detection
followed by the slot number of the
switch and
enable
.
For example, to enable the capacitor detection method on the switch with slot number 2, enter:
-> lanpower capacitor-detection 2 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 slot number 2, enter:
-> lanpower capacitor-detection 2 disable
Note.
The capacitive detection method should only be enabled to support legacy IP phones. This feature is
not
compatible with IEEE specifications. Please contact your Alcatel-Lucent sales engineer or Customer
Support representative to find out which Alcatel-Lucent IP phones models need capacitive detection
enabled.
