1.3 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.

1.3.1 PoE Example Application

The following example figure shows a Switch supplying 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.
Figure 1 Powered Device Example
The PoE function is available for the GS1100-10HP.
Ports 1 to 8 on the GS1100-10HP support both the IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet and IEEE 802.3at High
Power over Ethernet standards. The ports supply power of up to 30W per Ethernet port and up to the
total PoE power budget per Switch.
