Introduction to PoE on the G250 and G350
The Avaya G350 MM314 PoE media module provides Inline DC power over the signal pairs, in
addition to switched Ethernet, on the existing LAN infrastructure for devices such as IP
telephones and Wireless LAN access points. This allows you to deploy devices in the network
that require power without installing standard power cables. The G350 MM314 enables you to
configure a power consumption usage threshold, as well as to generate traps when this
threshold is crossed.
The MM314 PoE media module provides power over standard Category 3 and Category 5
cables. The MM314 PoE media module is designed to comply to the IEEE 802.3af standard.
The G250 provides the same PoE functionality as the MM314 PoE media module, except that
the G250 provides PoE functionality through the gateway itself to the eight Ethernet LAN PoE
ports located on the G250's front panel.
Note:
When you connect a non-powered device to a PoE port, the PoE port status is
Note:
Fault. Ignore the Fault status.
