NetPower 16P POE-out issue: POE-out UP with POE-out disabled?

Hi

I have a new NetPower 16P on my tower and I have issues with the POE-out.

I have 4 IsoStation 5AC connected and two NanoStation Loco M5.

I have issues with the POE-out function because, if I setup the POE-out as Auto mode, the router doesn't dettect the devices. If I setup in forced mode, the devices starts and, the strange part: If I setup the POE mode as OFF, the devices turns on!.... I mean, the POE-out disabled must to disable the POE out but In my case, the attached device turns on!.

In another port, I have an IsoStation 5AC: If I turn on the forced poe mode, the port goes down with the warning "poe-out overload".

In another port, I have another IsoStation that I know that it's OK and, if I turn on (in forced mode), the port goes down with the same warning.

Is it possible that one of my devices is short-circuited even though it's working? Could there be any problems if there are crossover and straight-through Ethernet cables?

All the cables have 5 meters.

I'm on the ROS7.22.2

Thanks

I have had crossover cables cause me issues with poe in the past, I never investigated why (small poe switch refused to work), I think I replaced the switch with a different one which worked ok, and later found the cables were crossover.
