By Link Status
: When enabled, the total power to the controller is dependent on the number of
connected ports. The overall current drawn, when a single port is connected is less than when all of
the available LAN ports have an active Ethernet connection.
By Cable Length Detection
: When enabled, the controller will reduce the overall current supplied to
the LAN port when a small cable length is connected to that port. Longer cables have higher resistance
than shorter cables, and require more power to transmit packets over that distance. This option will
reduce the power to a LAN port if an Ethernet cable of less than 10 ft is detected as being connected
to that port.
