If you have insufficient power to power all of the connected devices the PowerBox will cycle through powering up the interfaces. The solution is to resolve the power issue, but you can stop the Power cycling by setting the "PoE Priority". Priority 0 is the highest priority. If the PowerBox goes over the available power the port with the lowest priority will be turned off first.

Without knowing the amp hour value of the array, I can't say for certain but I have several 24v solar sites that can go 3-4 days without needing attention...

You say you don’t want to write a script, but then you talk about timed power shutoffs. What mechanism are you suggesting you would use to do that other than a script? > On Jan 2, 2018, at 8:04 AM, Josh Luthman via Mikrotik-users > <[email protected]> wrote: > > We have an unfortunate deal where we have a temporary solar situation.
