Set Up the Switch Configuration Utility
In order to make use of the switch’s enhanced features you can install and use a
switch configuration utility. This utility is on the
Resource CD
shipped with the
switch.
Note:
The configuration utility is installed on your PC and is only supported on MS
Windows.
Install the Configuration Utility
To install the ProSafe
®
Plus Switch Configuration Utility:
1.
Insert the
Resource CD
into a PC connected to the switch.
2.
Click on
Install ProSafe Plus Utility
and follow the prompts to install the
program. The switch configuration utility will be installed in the program
directory of your PC and a
ProSafe Plus Utility
icon will be placed on your
desktop.
Configure the Switch
To configure the switch to use enhanced features:
1.
Double click the
ProSafe Plus Utility
icon. The configuration home screen
displays.
2.
The configuration utility displays a list of enhanced switches it discovers on the
local network. Select the switch you want to configure.
3.
You will be asked to enter the password for the switch. The default is
“password”.
4.
Enter the desired switch configuration. Refer to the
ProSafe
®
Plus Switch
Configuration Utility User Guide
for a description of enhanced features. The
user guide can be accessed by links on the Help tab of the utility or on the
Resource CD
.
5.
Verify the following:
•
The Power LED is lit.
•
The corresponding port number for each connected and powered device
should light when linked (connected), and flash when activity occurs.

PoE Examples
Example 1
: Three PDs are connected to GS108PE (Port 1 ~ Port 3) consuming
40W, leaving 5W of power available. The PoE MAX LED will light up, as there is less
than 7W of power available. The GS108PE will not provide power to another PD.
The 5W of power is reserved for power surges by the original PD devices. If a PD is
inserted to Port 4, Port 4 will not supply power and its PoE LED will blink slowly.
Example 2:
Insert four PDs to Port 2, 3, 4 and 1 in order. Each PD draws 11 W. The
total power draw is 44W. Since the remaining power is less than 7W, the PoE MAX
LED will light up. If the PD on Port 1 surges to 15W, exceeding the power budget
(45W),
Port 4 will stop providing power as it has the lowest priority of the 4 ports
providing power. Port4’s power will go to power Port 1. The Port 4 PoE LED for will
blink.

Example 3:
Insert three PDs to Port 1, 2 and 3. Each PD draws 11 W. A total power
draw is 33W. When an additional PD is inserted to Port 4 that needs 15W, powering
that PD would exceed the maximum power available. Priority will be given to the
PD's on ports 1, 2 and 3, since they were already plugged in, so the new PD will not
receive power. The Port 4 PoE LED will blink, indicating that not enough power was
available for the new PoE device.
