PoE overview
Model GC110P supports eight Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports. The switch can supply
up to 15.4W PoE (IEEE 802.3af) to each port up to its total maximum PoE power budget
of 62W across all active PoE ports.
Supplied power is prioritized according to the port order, up to the total power budget
of the device. Port 1 receives the highest PoE priority, while port 8 is relegated to the
lowest PoE priority.
If the power requirements for attached devices exceed the total power budget of the
switch, the PoE power to the device on the highest-numbered active PoE port is disabled
to make sure that the devices connected to the higher-priority, lower-numbered PoE
ports are supported first.
Although a device is listed as an 802.3af PoE-powered device, it might not require the
maximum power limit that is specified by its IEEE standard. Many devices require less
power, allowing all eight PoE ports to be active simultaneously when the devices correctly
report their PoE class to the switch.
Connect PoE equipment in a business environment
The following figure shows an example of how you can connect PoE wireless access
points that require 802.3af only, PoE VoIP phones, and PoE surveillance equipment to
the switch in a business environment.
In a small office or home office network, the blue network icon represents a router that
is connected to an Internet modem. In such a setup, you must connect one port on the
switch to a LAN port on the router.
