EAP615-Wall Lan Port3 PoE Out

Hardware Questions and Recommendations
1

Hello,
i've flashed an EAP615-Wall AP with OpenWRT.

The device works fine with OpenWRT. However, I can't connect another PoE device to LAN Port 3, which would then also receive power. After consulting Netgear Support, there's an option to enable or disable PoE Out for LAN Port 3 under Advanced Settings in the original software. I suspect I can't enable or disable it via OpenWRT? Or can I check or find out in OpenWRT?

Have a look at the ToH entry for the device. It includes some UCI PoE configuration guidance:

I think you mean the following?
PoE Passthrough

See if there is a section in /etc/config/system, or System-->LED Configuration in the GUI.

Device page says the GPIO number should be 7, but I think that changes to the kernel make GPIOs numbered differently now.

Also this is passive PoE so do not connect a non-PoE device to the port while power is enabled, as that is likely to result in hardware damage.

@mk24 according to the product page, this device is 802.3af/at compatible. And it is stated that PoE+ is required on the PoE input pin if PoE out is to be used.

Hello, when I try to set up PoE-Passthrough, I get the following error message:

root@rome03:~# uci delete system.poe_passthrough
root@rome03:~# uci set system.poe_passthrough=gpio_switch
root@rome03:~# uci set system.poe_passthrough.name="PoE Passthrough"
root@rome03:~# uci set system.poe_passthrough.gpio_pin=poe-passthrough
root@rome03:~# uci set system.poe_passthrough.value=1
root@rome03:~# uci commit
uci: Parse error (invalid command) at line 1, byte 0
root@rome03:~# reload_config
uci: Entry not found

The Solution:

root@rome03:/etc/config# uci delete system.poe_passthrough
root@rome03:/etc/config# uci set system.poe_passthrough=gpio_switch
root@rome03:/etc/config# uci set system.poe_passthrough.name="PoE Passthrough"
root@rome03:/etc/config# uci set system.poe_passthrough.gpio_pin=poe-passthrough
root@rome03:/etc/config# uci set system.poe_passthrough.value=1
root@rome03:/etc/config# uci commit system
root@rome03:/etc/config# /etc/init.d/system restart
