Assigning a PoE Power Budget
Use the
PoE
panel to see how much power is available to, and being used by, connected devices. The
default setting for all ports is Auto. This setting automatically detects and budgets the amount of power
required by the device connected to the port. For each port you can adjust this setting manually, or turn off
power output completely. If you want to manually adjust the power output of the ports you must calculate a
PoE power budget, see
.
Tip:
If you are using a midspan PoE power injector for cameras that require high power PoE, you
should set that PoE port to Off.
To open the PoE panel, either:
l
Click
on the PoE status panel on Server Management launch page.
