1.11.1 Power
Management
These settings will help you match the power requirements of your system to the
power output of the Midspan.
Power Management can be used in the following modes:
None
:
Indicates power management will not be performed by the
firmware. User needs to power up the ports manually.
Static /w Priority
:
Power is budgeted statically based on selected violation
type, located under the “Multiple Port Configuration” or “Port
Configuration” tabs.
o
If violation type is “
Class Based
”, then the maximum permissible
power for that class is budgeted.
o
If violation type is “
User Defined
”, then the configured user-
defined limit is budgeted.
o
If violation type is “
None
”, then the budgeted power is based on
port mode.
For
Normal Mode
the power budgeted is 16.2W:
For “High Power Mode” (802.3at-Class 4), the power budgeted is based on
ILIM/ICUT selected value.
o
For ILIM/ICUT – 504/465 mA, the power budgeted is 22.5W.
o
For ILIM/ICUT – 563/545 mA, the power budgeted is 26.5W.
o
For ILIM/ICUT – 850/625 mA, the power budgeted is 31.6W.
o
For ILIM/ICUT – 850/725 mA, the power budgeted is 37.0W.
These limits will help to provide the necessary power for your system, and
prevents run away shorting and potential damage from occurring.
Static /wo Priority:
Same as above, except the port priority of the port is
ignored.
