Setting the Capacitor Detection Method
By default, the PowerDsine capacitor detection method is disabled on the OmniSwitch 6600-P24. To
enable it use the lanpower capacitor-detection command by entering lanpower capacitor-detection
followed by the slot number of the OmniSwitch 6600-P24 and enable.
For example, to enable the capacitor detection method on the OS6600-P24 with slot number 2 enter:
-> lanpower capacitor-detection 2 enable
To disable it use the lanpower capacitor-detection command by entering lanpower capacitor-detection
followed by the slot number of the OS6600-P24 and disable.
For example, to disable the capacitor detection method on the OS6600-P24 with slot number 2 enter:
-> lanpower capacitor-detection 2 disable
Note. The capacitive detection method should only be enabled support legacy IP phones only—this feature
is not compatible with IEEE specification 802.3af. Please contact your Alcatel sales engineer or Customer
Support representative to find out which Alcatel IP phones models need capacitive detection enabled.
