Power management
Avaya Vantage
™
can receive power from the following sources:
• 802.3af PoE (Class 3)
• 802.3at PoE (Class 4)
• USB Type-C power supply
If you use the 802.3at networking switch or the USB Type-C power adapter, the general-purpose
USB port of Avaya Vantage
™
delivers up to 900mA. If you use the 802.3af networking switch,
Avaya Vantage
™
USB port delivers up to 100mA.
You can use a USB Type-C power adapter to power Avaya Vantage
™
in the following conditions:
• When using Wi-Fi to connect to the network instead of using a PoE networking switch port.
• The networking switch port does not support the 802.3af or 802.3at PoE specification.
• The device requires more power than an 802.3af PoE networking switch port can provide,
and 802.3at PoE port is unavailable. For example, a USB device that requires more than 0.5
watts is connected to Avaya Vantage
™
, and only 802.3af PoE ports are available. Then, you
must connect Avaya Vantage
™
to a power adapter.
You must purchase the power adapter separately.
If Avaya Vantage
™
is connected to a power supply and a PoE networking switch port and you
disconnect one of the power sources, then the following occurs:
• If you disconnect the power adapter, Avaya Vantage
™
reboots. If the networking switch
supports the 802.3at or 802.3af specification, Avaya Vantage
™
continues to work after the
reboot.
