4.8 Power over Ethernet (PoE)

PoE provides a way to distribute low-voltage power across the network

using existing copper Ethernet cable to an endpoint PD (Powered Device).

This centralized, reliable source of power allows network devices such as

IP telephones, wireless LAN access points, surveillance cameras, and other

embedded appliances to operate without additional power adapters or AC

outlets. You can configure the port power as follows:

Port: select the port to configure
Port State: enable/disable the port power
Priority: set the port priority. Low numeric value indicates a high priority.
