5.1 PoE And the use of external power adapters
X1SP, called as ‘the device’ hereafter,supports two power supply modes, power supply from external power
adapter or over Ethernet (PoE) complied switch. X1S not support PoE.
PoE power supply saves the space and cost of providing the device additional power outlet. With a PoE
switch, the device can be powered through a single Ethernet cable which is also used for data transmission.
By attaching UPS system to PoE switch, the device can keep working at power outage just like traditional
PSTN telephone which is powered by the telephone line.
For users who do not have PoE equipment, the traditional power adaptor should be used. If the device is
connected to a PoE switch and power adapter at the same time, the power adapter will be used in priority and
will switch to PoE power supply once it fails.
Please use the power adapter supplied by Fanvil and the PoE switch met the specifications to ensure the
device work properly.
