It also displays information about the PoE ID, firmware revision, and system status. Figure 5-3. System setup, control, information, and port commands. The system level parameters that can be configured are: • System Reset: This is a function that allows the GUI to reset the software on the unit.
Chapter 5: GUI Operation 5.3 GUI Port Description The Port Description panel shows 16 ports. On the 8- or 16-Port PoE Gigabit Injector models, the port numbers higher than the system port count will be shaded gray and disabled. Each section specifies the individual port descriptions for the system. Figure 5-5. Port Description. To enable changes to the port configuration in this section, click the “Send Port Control” button. It will send the port information to the unit for 16 ports.
802.3af and 802.3at PoE Gigabit Injectors 5.4 GUI Parametric Information This section allows users to review, but not edit, parametric information for each port. Figure 5-7. Parametric information. The Port Parametric Information panel displays the following set of parameters: • Discovery R (ohms): This value represents the discovered resistance of the port in ohms.
