Power-over- Ethernet – elegant power supply through the LAN wiring
LANCOM Access Points are prepared for the PoE power supply (Power-over-Ethernet), corre-
sponding to the 802.3af standard. PoE-enabled network devices can be comfortably supplied
with power feeding through the LAN wiring. A separate external power supply for each base
station is unnecessary, which reduces the installation complexity considerably.
The power feeding into the LAN happens at a central position, either via a PoE power injector,
or via a so-called powerhub/powerswitch. For the LAN wiring is to note that all 8 wires must
be available by the cabling. PoE feeds the power over those four wires, which are normally
not used for data transfer.
The PoE supply works only in such network segments, in which exclusively PoE-capable
devices are operating. The protection of network devices without PoE support is guaranteed
by an intelligent mechanism, that tests the network segment for devices without PoE support
before starting the PoE power feeding. The power is only switched onto the segment, if only
devices with PoE support were detected.
In a PoE installation use exclusively devices which correspond to the 802.3af stand-
ard! For damages caused by inadmissible devices no warranty may be claimed.
For the LANCOM L-54 dual Wireless, two LAN sockets can be used for redundant
power supply. The device itself selects the power source to be used. If a power outage
causes a switch between power sources, the device reboots so that the power feed is
reactivated, if appropriate.
