MANAGING POWER OVER
ETHERNET DEVICES
Power over Ethernet (PoE) provides power to devices over existing LAN
cabling, without updating or modifying the network infrastructure.
Power over Ethernet removes the necessity of placing network devices
next to power sources. Power over Ethernet can be used with:
IP Phones
Wireless Access Points
IP Gateways
PDAs
Audio and video remote monitoring
Powered Devices are devices which receive power from the device power
supplies, for example IP phones. Powered Devices are connected to the
device via Ethernet ports.
