Administration Control - This setting (ON/OFF) allows the network operator to control whether each
individual port is sourcing PoE power. If this field is set to off, the port acts like any port on a non-
powered patch panel rather than a PoE port. This enables the network operator to mix non-powered or
locally powered devices in the same panel as PoE devices. The factory default setting for this field is ON.
Power Priority - This setting (Low, High, Critical) indicates whether the importance of maintaining PoE
power to this port in low-power situations. This field is used in coordination with a higher-level Network
Management System (if available).
PD Type
- This free form field allows the network operator to enter information on the Powered Device
(PD), such as the type of device (IP-phone, camera etc.).
PoE Power Mode - These settings (Normal, Forced with check, Forced) indicate the power mode being
delivered to a powered device. In “Normal” mode the device port will deliver the standard IEEE 802.3af-
2003 compliant powering or the Cisco-In Line powering scheme. In the “Forced with check” mode the
device port will deliver power only when a non-open circuit is detected. The port checks for a closed
circuit condition and will not apply power until a load is detected across the circuit. In “Forced” mode the
device port will deliver power without performing a detection classification. If nothing is detected within the
circuit then “no device connected” traps will continuously be generated until a load is connected.
WARNING:
Forced power mode is not a normal operating condition. Although Forced mode
abides by the PoE under and over current shut down precautions potential damage
could be caused to certain non-PoE devices that are connected in Forced mode.
Work Area Location - These free form fields allows the network operator to enter information such as the
location where the device is located.
Legacy Detection – These settings (Enabled, Disabled) allow the PoE device detection to be modified. If
this setting is Enabled, the
DPoE™
Power Patch Panel will detect both Cisco-In Line powering scheme
and the IEEE 802.3af-2003 standard powered devices. If this setting is disabled, the
DPoE™
Power
Patch Panel will perform IEEE 802.3af detection.
The Export Device information capability is similar to the
Export Device capability. This function allows the network
operator to copy the Log Messages from the currently
selected port,
DPoE™
Compact 8 Midspan or the entire
network of
DPoE™
devices into an external file.
Export Log
The
Export Log button on the tool bar on the View Panel
Screen provides an easy mechanism to perform this task.
