HP Access Control Client Software manual PoE Requirements on ProCurve RPs and APs

Designing Access Controls

Lay Out the Network

The RPs require a Power over Ethernet (PoE) source but can connect to any location in the network. (PoE sends power over the same Ethernet cable on which data is transmitted.) To ensure that RPs are adopted by the module, you must either extend the Radio Port VLAN between the module and the RP or set up Layer 3 adoption. (See the ProCurve Access Control Implemen- tation Guide.)

Although the AP 420 and AP 530 do not require PoE, they do support it as a convenience. (See Table 3-111 for requirements.)

Table 3-111. PoE Requirements on ProCurve RPs and APs

ProCurve Product	Required Power for PoE
RP 210	5 W
RP 220	7 W
RP 230	7 W
AP 420	13.2 W
AP 530	12.5 W

Table 3-112 lists ProCurve Switches that provide PoE.
