1. Introduction
Power over Ethernet (PoE) allows both power and data to be simultaneously carried over standard Ethernet cables. PoE-enabled Ethernet switches can supply power directly to Ethernet devices, thereby simplifying installation and removing the need for separate power supplies for those devices. The IEEE 802.3af standard defines the mechanisms for Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE), such as PoE-enabled Ethernet switches, to detect, classify, and supply power to Powered Devices (PDs), such as PoE-enabled IP telephones. The Nortel 5520-24T-PWR switch provides 24 ports with PoE.
