1.2 Example Applications

This section shows a few examples of using the Switch in various network environments. Note that the
Switch in the figure is just an example Switch and not your actual Switch.

1.2.1 PoE Example Application

The Switch can supply PoE (Power over Ethernet) to Powered Devices (PDs) such as an IP camera, a
wireless router, an IP telephone and a general outdoor router that are not within reach of a power
outlet.

1.2.2 Backbone Example Application

The Switch is an ideal solution for small networks where rapid growth can be expected in the near future.
The Switch can be used standalone for a group of heavy traffic users. You can connect computers and
servers directly to the Switch's port or connect other switches to the Switch.
All computers can share high-speed applications on the server. To expand the network, simply add
more networking devices such as switches, routers, computers, print servers, and so on.
