Application Examples
This Fast Ethernet switch is not only designed to segment your network, but also to
provide a wide range of options in setting up network connections and linking VLANs
or IP subnets. Some typical applications are described below.
Supplying PoE
The switch is an excellent choice for supplying power to connected PoE devices
such as web cameras, IP telephones or access points. You can easily connect a
PoE device to a switch port and allow power to be supplied over the connecting
cable. Each of the 24 10/100BASE-TX ports on the switch can provide power to a
connected device.
In the figure below, the switch is supplying power to three PoE devices. It is also
providing dedicated 100 Mbps full-duplex data connections to the devices. In
addition, other non-PoE devices can be connected to the switch.
