Additional Hardware Features

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.
