Power over Ethernet
The section explains the Power over Ethernet (PoE) Power Sourcing
Equipment (PSE) feature for the following IE340 switches:

IE340-12GP

IE340-20GP

IE340L-18GP
Note
The IE340-12GT switch does not support PoE PSE.
The PoE PSE feature allows the switches to supply electrical power to
network devices over the same twisted pair cables that carry network
traffic. The feature can simplify network installation and maintenance
because it allows you to use the switches as central power sources for
other network devices.
Devices that receive their power over Ethernet cables are called powered
devices (PD). Examples of PDs include wireless access points, IP
telephones, web cams, and even other Ethernet switches. A PD
connected to a port on the switch receives both network traffic and power
over the same twisted-pair cable.
PoE Versions
The IE340 PoE PSE switches support the following versions of PoE:

PoE (IEEE 802.3af, IEEE 802.3at Type 1)

PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at Type 2)
Table 1 lists the switch ports that source PoE and the maximum power
levels.
