Introduction This chapter provides an overview of Power over Ethernet (PoE) and a list of reasons why you might want to implement PoE in your environment. It discusses how PoE transmits power over twisted pair cable and the capabilities of the devices used to provide PoE. Overview Power over Ethernet technology allows IP telephones, wireless LAN Access Points and other appliances to receive power as well as data over existing LAN...

Introduction Overview Power over Ethernet connections to embedded computers will allow a less expensive installation (no AC cabling, lower labor costs), facilitate updating the installation and repositioning of end devices (wireless access points, security cameras, and so forth) without electricians, while maintaining full control over every node through the internet.
Introduction Overview Here are some reasons why you might want to do this: Simplifies installation and saves space - only one set of wires to bring to ■ your appliance. ■ Saves time and money - there is no need to pay for additional electrical power runs or to delay your installation schedule to make them.
Introduction Overview It does this by applying a small current-limited voltage to the cable and checks for the presence of a 25k ohm resistor in the remote device. Only if the resistor is present, will the full wattage be applied, but this is still current-limited to prevent damage to cables and equipment in fault conditions.

Introduction Overview For example: ProCurve 3500yl#(config) no power pre-std-detect The dual-personality ports have either auto-sensing 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45, or mini-GBIC connectivity. The mini-GBIC ports do not support PoE. If any of the mini-GBIC ports are used the corresponding RJ-45 port will not be supplied with PoE power.
Introduction Overview Power Redundancy There are two types of power supplied by the Series 5400zl switch power supplies: 12V power or system power ■ ■ 50V power or PoE power The 12V system power is used for the backplane and is what operates the internal components of the switch.
Operating Rules This chapter discusses the operating rules and characteristics of the ProCurve product capabilities. The following products are discussed: ■ The ProCurve Switch 3500yl-24G-PWR (J8692A), is used as a PSE device to provide PoE power to PDs thru the 24 RJ45 ports. ■...
Operating Rules Provisioning Power for PoE Provisioning Power for PoE Both the 5400zl and the 3500yl switches support an external power supply that can provide either redundant or extra PoE power. It is important to understand how PoE power is provisioned in order to use these external power supplies efficiently.

Operating Rules Provisioning Power for PoE Table 2-1. Maximum Power Allocations for the 3500yl Switches PoE Devices Internal Only Internal and External External Only PoE for Switch 398 watts available to 398 watts available to ports 1-24 The internal power supply 3500yl-24G-PWR ports 1-24.
Operating Rules Provisioning Power for PoE PoE Power It is important to understand the PoE power requirements of these switches because if the PoE power is not planned and implemented correctly, end devices connected to the PoE switch ports may not receive power if a switch PoE power source failure occurs or if the switch is over provisioned.
Operating Rules Provisioning Power for PoE Switch Priority Class Port priority classification can be used by the switch to allocate power to ports. It is a prioritization scheme by which the user can assign a low (default), high, or critical priority to any given port. This assignment is done through the command line interface (see the Management and Configuration Guide which is on the ProCurve Web site, (See...
Operating Rules Provisioning Power for PoE PD Power Classification A PD is classified based on the maximum power it draws across all input voltages and operational modes. The most common class is 0, in which the switch will allow a maximum draw of 15.4 watts per port. As an example, 15.4 watts - Power Loss (16%) = 12.95 watts.
Planning and Implementation for the Series 3500yl Switches This chapter discusses the planning process a user should follow to successfully implement PoE using a Series 3500yl Switch. After understanding what PoE is and its operating rules, the next step to implementation is planning.

Then it reserves 22 watts per bank leaving 354 watts total for allocation. If ports 1-24 are chosen to be used then the 22 watts that was held in reserve for that bank of ports will be added back in for a total of 376 watts.

Infrastructure Requirements Air conditioning Power supplies create a great amount of heat. Ensure you have enough cool air to maintain an ambient temperature between 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 131°F) around the switch devices inside the rack. A typical 48 port PoE switch BTU rating is approximately 920. Adding in a maximum number of PoE powered devices (PD) connected to the switch at 15.4 watts, the BTU rating can jump to approximately 2280.
Infrastructure Requirements Space Space These devices may be deeper (longer) than other equipment in your network due to the added PoE power supplies. Also if RPS units have been added to the rack or wiring closet, ensure enough space has been planned for all devices.
Glossary Glossary active PoE port - PoE-enabled port connected to a PD and currently delivering power. priority class - Refers to the type of power prioritization where the switch uses Low (the default), High, and Critical priority assignments to determine which groups of ports will receive power.
