Variable definitions

Use the data in the following table to display the PoE configuration for specific switch ports.

Variable Value
Unit Indicates the switch position in a stack.
Port Indicates the switch port number.
AdminEnable

Lets you enable or disable PoE on this port.

By default, PoE is enabled.

DetectionStatus

Displays the operational status of the power-device detecting mode on the specified port:


• disabled—detecting function disabled
• searching—detecting function is enabled and the system is searching for a valid powered device on this port
• deliveringPower—detection found a valid powered device and the port is delivering power
• fault—power-specific fault detected on port
• test—detecting device in test mode
• otherFault


Attention

Nortel recommends against using the test operational status.

PowerClassifications Classification is a way to tag different terminals on the Power over LAN network according to their power consumption. Devices such as IP telephones, WLAN access points, and others can be classified according to their power requirements.
PowerPriority

Lets you set the power priority for the specified port to:

  • critical
  • high
  • low
PowerLimit(watts) Specifies the maximum power that the switch can supply to a port. The default value is 16W.
Voltage(volts) Indicates the voltage measured in Volts.
Current(amps) Indicates the current measured in amps.
Power(watts) Indicates the power measured in watts.
