1.6 Power over ETHERNET

Note: The following devices are equipped with Power over Ethernet (PoE)
ports:

RS20/30
 MS20/30
 PowerMICE

OCTOPUS
You will learn in this section how these devices operate.
Devices with Power over ETHERNET (PoE) media modules or PoE ports
enable you to supply current to terminal devices such as IP phones via the
twisted-pair cable. PoE media modules and PoE ports support Power over
ETHERNET in accordance with IEEE 802.3af.
The Power over ETHERNET function is globally active and the PoE-capable
ports are active on delivery.
Nominal power for MS20/30, MACH 1000 and PowerMICE:
The device provides the nominal power for the sum of all PoE ports plus a
surplus. Because the PoE media module gets its PoE voltage externally, the
device does not know the possible nominal power.
The device therefore assumes a "nominal power" of 60 Watt per PoE media
module for now.
Nominal power for OCTOPUS 8M-PoE and OCTOPUS 24M-8PoE:
The device provides the nominal power for the sum of all PoE ports plus a
surplus. Because the device gets its PoE voltage externally, the device does
not know the possible nominal power.
The device therefore assumes a "nominal power" of 15 Watt per PoE port for
now.
