Toggle By Link Status: When enabled, the total power to the controller is dependent on the number

of connected ports. The overall current draw when a single port is connected is less than when all of

theavailableLANportshaveanactiveEthernetconnection.

By Cable Length Detection: When enabled the controller will reduce the overall current supplied to

the LAN port when a small cable length is connected to that port. Longer cables have higher resistance

than shorter cables and require more power to transmit packets over that distance. This option will
