Power over Ethernet
An Power over Ethernet-enabled AP is equipped with an
802.3af-compliant Power over Ethernet module. Power over Ethernet
(PoE) delivers both data and power to the access point over a single
Ethernet cable. If you choose to use Power over Ethernet, there is no
difference in operation; the only difference is in the power source.
• The Power over Ethernet (PoE) integrated module receives ~48
VDC over a standard Category 5 Ethernet cable.
• To use Power over Ethernet, you must have an PoE hub (also
known as a power injector) connected to the network.
• The cable length between the PoE hub and the Access Point should
not exceed 100 meters (approximately 325 feet).
• The PoE hub is not a repeater and does not amplify the Ethernet
data signal.
• If connected to an PoE hub and an AC power simultaneously, the
Access Point draws power from Power over Ethernet.
• Maximum power supplied to an Access Point is 11 Watts; the unit
typically draws approximately 10 Watts.

NOTE:
The AP’s 802.3af-compliant Power over Ethernet module is
backwards compatible with all Avaya Wireless Power over Ethernet
hubs that do not support the IEEE 802.3af standard.
