Setting the Capacitor Detection Method
By default, the PowerDsine capacitor detection method is disabled on an OmniSwitch 6850 Series switch.
To enable it, use the lanpower capacitor-detection command by entering lanpower capacitor-detection
followed by the slot number of the OmniSwitch 6850 Series and enable.
For example, to enable the capacitor detection method on the OmniSwitch 6850 Series switch with slot
number 2, enter:
-> lanpower capacitor-detection 2 enable
To disable it, use the lanpower capacitor-detection command by entering lanpower capacitor-detec-
tion followed by the slot number of the OmniSwitch 6850 Series and disable.
For example, to disable the capacitor detection method on the OmniSwitch 6850 Series switch with slot
number 2, enter:
-> lanpower capacitor-detection 2 disable
Note. The capacitive detection method should only be enabled to support legacy IP phones. This feature is
not compatible with IEEE specification 802.3af. Please contact your Alcatel-Lucent sales engineer or
Customer Support representative to find out which Alcatel-Lucent IP phones models need capacitive
detection enabled.
