PoE
The DWS-3160-24PC switches support Power over Ethernet (PoE) as defined by the IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at. All
ports can support PoE up to 30W. Ports 1-24 can supply about 48 VDC power to Powered Devices (PDs) over
Category 5 or Category 3 UTP Ethernet cables. The Switch follows the standard PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment)
pinout
Alternative A
, whereby power is sent out over pins 1, 2, 3 and 6. The Switches work with all D-Link 802.3af
capable devices.
The Switch includes the following PoE features:
•
Auto-discovery recognizes the connection of a PD (Powered Device) and automatically sends power to it.
•
The Auto-disable feature occurs under two conditions: firstly, if the total power consumption exceeds the
system power limit; and secondly, if the per port power consumption exceeds the per port power limit.
•
Active circuit protection automatically disables the port if there is a short. Other ports will remain active.
Based on 802.3af/at PDs receive power according to the following classification: PSE provides power according to the following classification:

To configure the PoE features on the Switch, click
System Configuration
>
PoE
. The
PoE System Settings
window is used to assign a power limit and power disconnect method for the whole PoE system. To configure the
Power Limit
for the PoE system, enter a value between 1W and 370W for the Switch in the Power Limit field.
When the total consumed power exceeds the power limit, the PoE controller (located in the PSE) disconnects the
power to prevent overloading the power supply.
