1.4 Reset Button
•Press button for less than 2 seconds and release: Does nothing.
•Press button for 2-10 seconds and release: Reset switch by software (no configuration
change).
•Press button for more than 10 seconds and release: Restore unit to factory default.

Introduction Power and System LEDs
Microsemi PDS-408G Web Management User Guide Ver. 1.0.1, 03-2019 11
NOTE:
To restore unit to factory default – press and hold the Reset button switch for more than 10 Sec
(12 Sec or more) and then release it. Unit will reset itself using factory default configuration
1.5 Power and System LEDs
•Power: Green wheACn -Power is applied to the unit.
•System: Slow 1Hz blinking in green - indicates that the Switch software is OK.
1.6 USB Interface (virtual COMM)
The USB interface should be used for management of serial communication over CLI
Figure 1-2: CLI interface example
NOTE:
Make sure the USB port is disconnected prior to installing the USB driver.
The unit uses Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART IC internally. If this is the 1st time you are connecting
to the USB interface, then an appropriate USB driver should be installed in advanced before using the
USB serial interface. Please use the link bellow to download the most updated drivers:
https://www.silabs.com/products/development-tools/software/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers
Next, connect your laptop/desktop USB to the unit’s USB interface, and verify that the virtual COMM
was successfully added (COM4 in the example below).
Figure 1-3: Windows 10 ports report
After successful USB to UART driver installation use the following steps to obtain the CLI interface:
•Run the serial communication application as PuTTY https://www.putty.org/
•Select the serial COM index allocated for SiliconLabs CP210x USB to UART driver
•Set Baud rate to 115200
•One Stop bit
•No flow control

2.3 Saving configuration changes
2.3.1 Configuration profiles
The unit has three different configuration profiles. It is important to understand the differences between
the three profiles and how to work with each of them. Failing to do so may lead to configuration errors.
•Running configuration profile – immediate unit configuration. Any configuration change will
take effect immediately, and will be part of the Running Configuration profile. Turning the unit
off and on or resetting the unit by software will cause the unit to load it’s Startup Configuration,
completely ignoring the unit’s Running Configuration unless the user copies the Running-
Configuration to the Startup-Configuration before power-off and power-on or the software reset
was applied.
•Startup Configuration profile – Unit configuration to be used whenever power is applied to
the unit, or after each unit software reset.
•Default Configuration profile – Unit configuration as it was released from the factory before
the user made any changes.

3.1.1 RJ45 LEDs and connecter jack
The top left RJ45 green LED indicates that the network link is up regardless of link speed. The LED
will blink whenever network traffic is passing through this port.
The top left RJ45 green LED indicates PoE status. It can be green, blinking green, orange, or off.
•Green - POE power is delivered on all four Ethernet cable pairs.
•Orange - Power is delivered on only two of the four Ethernet cable pairs.
•Blinking Green - there is a PoE problem
•Off - PoE power is not delivered to the end network device.
NOTE:
The left network LED and the right PoE LED are working independently. Each of them can be turned
On and Off regardless of the status of the other LED.

PoE Status – The following PoE status indications are available:
PoE Status
Description
---
PoE is enabled, and no PD was detected.
PoE Disabled
PoE port was disabled (regardless if Ethernet port is
enabled/disabled)
PoE-ON
PoE power is being delivered on all four pairs of the Ethernet cable.
PoE-ON (2Pair)
PoE power is delivered only on two out of four pairs of the Ethenet
cable.
PoE-OFF-fault
PoE-Power is not delivered to the connected PoE-PD device due to
one of the following reasons:
•PD-Overload: The PoE-PD had requested or consumed more
power than what the port could deliver, so it was turned off.
•Power-Overload: Overall total power including new PD power
request exceeds the maximum unit overall power capabilities.
•PD-Underload: PD device power consumption is to low (less then
10mA), so power was turned off (endless On On/Off cycle).
Table 3-5: PoE Status
PoE Power – This column displays the PoE PD device ongoing power consumption in Watt.
The PoE PD device may consume up to 90[W].
NOTE:
NOTE1 - The maximum power that a PoE PD may consume is determined by its PD
class signature:
•Class-8 = 90[W]
•Class-7 = 75[W]
•Class-6 = 60[W]
•Class-5 = 45[W]
•Class-4 = 30[W]
•Class-3 = 15[W]
•Class-2 = 7[W]
•Class-1 = 4[W],
•Class-0 = same as Class-3 = 15[W]
NOTE2 - PoE PD signature can be found on View PoE-BT Power page.
NOTE3 – PoE configuration has the option to deliver slightly higher power values for
each class then those noted above.
Reset PoE – This column allows you to reset any PoE PD device by temporary shutting down its power
(PoE disabled) for around 5-8 seconds, followed by restoring POE power (PoE Enabled).
NOTE:
Pressing on Reset PoE will open a dialog box reporting that PoE power will be turned Off and back
to On, allowing the user to cancel this action.
