PoE Ports
The RUGGEDCOM RSG2100P features two standard 10/100Base-TX Power over
Ethernet (POE) ports in slot 9, as well as an additional two ports in slot 10.
PoE ports comply with the IEEE 802.3af standard and feature auto-sensing and
automatic power off when cables are removed.
PoE ports require an external 48 VDC power source. For information about
connecting an external power source, refer to
"Connecting External PoE Power (Page
Power Budget
The total allowable power budget for all ports is 60 W. If the external power supply
is less than 75 W, to prevent exceeding the power budget, port priorities can be
set via the RUGGEDCOM RSG2100P operating system to disable low priority ports
when demand is too high. Ports can also be enabled/disabled and placed on a power
schedule to conserve power. For more information, refer to the "RUGGEDCOMROS
Configuration Manual" for the RUGGEDCOM RSG2100P.

Each port features a dedicated LED that indicates the state of the port.
