On the page displayed in
, each port can be configured separately by clicking each RJ45
connector. By default, the TPS23881 is configured in OFF Mode. Each port can be configured by clicking
the RJ45 icon. Clicking the
SET ALL PORTS TO STANDARD
button sets all port to standard
configurations (configuring ports in Semi-Auto mode, enabling OSS, power policing, and DC disconnect).
Clicking the
SET ALL PORTS TO AUTO MODE
button enables
Auto Mode
for all ports.
The status of each port is shown on the configuration and telemetry page. The configuration of the ports
can also be edited on this page by clicking the RJ45 connector.
If the port is configured in
Auto Mode
, the port will turn on automatically by the PSE device after
connecting a valid PD. If not configured in
Auto Mode
, a port enable command is required (
4P Enable
for
4 pair ports and
2P Enable
for 2-pair ports). The port can be turned on only when the PD has valid
detection and classification results.
