5.3 PoE Configuration
PoE Configuration Overview
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is an extended feature that supports network devices with
Ethernet electrical ports. The network devices (switches or routers) supporting the PoE
function can provide power supply through Twisted Pair for remote Powered Devices
(PD)s such as IP phones, WLAN Access Points (APs), or network cameras, which
realizes remote power supply.
Ethernet remote power supply sometimes is named as network power supply. It is a type
of technology that delivers a little electricity and provides power supply through 10 BASE-T
and 100 BASE-TX. When the current Ethernet Cat.5 cabling basic structure is not changed,
PoE can provide DC power supply for IP-based devices (such as IP phones, WLAN APs,
or network cameras) when its data signals are transmitted. PoE technology can reduce
the cost mostly when the current structural cabling security is ensured.

The ZXR10 5250-52PM can provide power supply for the PD complying with
802.3af/802.3at standard, and the single port can provide up to 30 watts of power.
