Configuring PoE (J-Web Procedure)
Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports 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 in the J-Web interface, you can modify the settings of all interfaces that are PoE-enabled.
To configure PoE:
- 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.
