Note

If all PoE PDs power consumption is >= 53W, a priority* will be arranged among the PoE ports like port-1 = port-2 = port-3 > port-4, then the system will cut off the power of the lowest-priority port.

*Priority: This function will help protect the system when the system power is overloaded. For example, Port 1, 2 and 4 is using 15.4W (maximum power for per port is 15.4W); the system power is 46.2W in total. If there is an additional PD inserted to Port 3 with 10W, and then the system will cut off the power of Port 4 because of the overloaded power, this means Port 1, 2 will use 15.4W, and Port3 will use 10W, no power will be supplied to Port 4.
