NETWORK PLANNING

Application Examples

The switch is not only designed to segment your network, but also to provide a wide range of options in setting up network connections. Some typical applications are described below.

Supplying PoE

The switch is an excellent choice for supplying power to connected PoE devices such as web cameras, IP telephones or access points. You can easily connect a PoE device to the network and build on this basic configuration, to allow power to be delivered over the connection to the PoE device. Each of the 24 ports on the switch can provide power to a connected device.

In the figure below, the switch is supplying power to 3 PoE devices. It is also providing dedicated 100 Mbps full-duplex connections to the devices. In addition, other non-PoE devices can be connected to the switch.
