About the built-in switch
The AXIS Camera Station S20 Appliance Series comes with an integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch. You configure and manage
the built-in switch from a webpage.
The purpose of the switch is to segregate traffic on the network so that security cameras and related traffic managed by the switch
(PoE ports and U1 network connections) are not shared with other networks.
The switch’s power management follow these rules:
•
Each port reserves power according to the connected powered device’s PoE class.
•
If the actual power consumption for a given port exceeds the reserved power for that port, it will shut down.
•
Ports will shut down when the actual power consumption for all ports exceeds the total amount of power that the
power supply can deliver. The ports are then shut down according to the ports priority where a lower port number
means higher priority.
