  • Page 16: Standard Poe Information For Wla Series Access Points

    POE circuitry operates at 85% or greater efficiency on a 40 V 350ma 14W input (dissipate less than 3.0W). The WLA532 access point provides a PoE input circuit to the CPU to indicate if the powered device input voltage is less than 42 V or not. This helps to identify poor quality cable plants or power source equipment capability and allows the software to disable some of the features.
