Power over Ethernet
The Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 4500 Series 4550T-PWR and
4548-GT-PWR are Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE). They support Power
over Ethernet (PoE) on all 10/100/1000 ports.
PoE is based on the IEEE 802.3af standard.
PoE is the ability of the 4550T-PWR and the 4548-GT-PWR to power
network devices over the Ethernet cable. These devices include IP Phones,
wireless LAN access points, security cameras, and access control points.
The PoE features supported by the 4550T-PWR and the 4548-GT-PWR
switches are as follows:
•
DTE power
•
powered device (PD) discovery and classification
•
capacitive detection to support legacy PD devices, including the Nortel
and Cisco Legacy IP Phones
•
per-port power management and monitoring
•
AC and DC disconnection
•
load under voltage/current and over voltage/current detection
•
at least 320 watts (W) power available for PSE ports from the internal
power supply
•
up to 6.6 W for each port on all 48 ports
•
a total of 740 W power available for PSE ports using both the internal
and external power supply
•
15.4 W (Max) for each port on a 48 port unit
•
per-port PoE status LED
•
port prioritizing to guarantee DTE power available on high-priority ports
•
port pruning to prevent system failure
