Configuring PoE (J-Web Procedure)
EX-series switch models provide either 8, 24, or 48 PoE
ports, which supply electric power over the same ports that are used
to connect network devices. These ports allow you to plug in devices
that require both network connectivity and electric power,
such as VoIP phones, wireless access points, and some IP cameras.
Using the Power over Ethernet (PoE) configuration page, you can modify
the settings of all interfaces that are PoE-enabled.
To modify PoE settings:
- In the Configure menu, select Power
over Ethernet.
The page displays a list of all interfaces except uplink ports.
Specific operational details about an interface are displayed in the
Details section of the page. The details include the PoE Operational
Status and Port class.
- Click one:
-
Edit — Changes PoE settings for the selected
port as described in Table 1.
-
System Settings — Modifies general PoE
settings as described in Table 2.
