8.4 Advanced Switch Configuration
The DSR allows you to adjust the power consumption of the hardware based on your
actual usage. The two ―green‖ options available for your LAN switch are Power
Saving by Link Status and Length Detection State. With ―Power Saving by Link
Status‖ option enabled, the total power consumption by the LAN switch is dependent
function of on the number of connected ports. The overall current draw when a single
port is connected is less than when all the ports are connected. With ―Length
Detection State‖ option enabled, the overall current supplied to a LAN port is red uced
when a smaller cable length is connected on a LAN port.
Jumbo Frames support can be configured as an advanced switch configuration. Jumbo
frames are Ethernet frames with more than 1500 bytes of payload. When this option is
enabled, the LAN devices can exchange information at Jumbo frames rate.
