Set the operating mode of the access point if it supports Dual PoE. With Dual PoE, both Ethernet ports can be used as PoE input.
Note: The LANCOM LX-7500 access point supports Dual PoE—both Ethernet ports can be used as PoE input. In its factory
settings, the LX-7500 is preconfigured for load balancing.
LANconfig:
- Hitless Failover
-
Allows uninterrupted operation of the access point if the PoE supply fails on one of the two Ethernet ports. The access point
will not restart. This mode requires that the same PoE power is provided on both Ethernet ports.
Note: In the case of the LX-7500, IEEE 802.3bt (Class 6 / 51W) is required for full operation.
- Load Balancing
-
The access point draws power simultaneously via PoE from both Ethernet ports. Usually, the power drawn from both ports is
similar, but ultimately this is influenced by the applied voltage and is therefore dependent on the specific circumstances.
Note: This enables full operation of the LANCOM LX-7500 with 2x IEEE 802.3at (Class 4 / 25.5W).
Monitoring on the CLI
You can view the settings or the current status via the CLI under (1.47.42.10). The following statuses are possible:
- Disabled
- The access point is not configured for Hitless Failover, but for Load Balancing.
- Ready
- The access point is configured for Hitless Failover, and PoE is provided through both ports. The failover event has not occurred.
- Engaged
- The access point is configured for Hitless Failover, but one of the ports has lost its PoE supply. The failover event has occurred.
