Configuring PoE Settings
By default, PoE settings for ports 1-8 are set to auto-sensing
PoE+. PoE will automatically be activated on the port when an
802.3af/at device is connected. For 24V passive PoE, PoE must
be manually activated.
WARNING: Before manually activating 24V passive
PoE, ensure that the connected device supports 24V
passive PoE.
1. On the Devices screen, locate the UniFi Switch in the list of
devices under the Model column. Click the switch to access
its settings.
2. Click the Ports tab.

3. Click Actions for the port you want to configure.
4. Select the appropriate mode: Off, 24V Passive, or PoE+
from the PoE setting. ThenclickApply.
