Power sources and power consumption
• The AP supports direct DC power and Power over
Ethernet (PoE; on port E0)
• When both power sources are available, DC power takes
priority over PoE
• Power sources are sold separately; see the ordering
Information section below for details
• When powered by DC or 802.3at (class 4) / 802.3bt (class
5) PoE, the AP will operate without restrictions.
• When powered by 802.3af (class 3) PoE and with the IPM
feature enabled, the AP will start up in unrestricted mode,
but it may apply restrictions depending on the PoE budget
and actual power. What IPM restrictions to apply, and in
what order, is programmable.
• Operating the AP with an 802.3af (class 3 or lower) PoE
source and IPM disabled is not supported (except for AP
staging; no radios will be enabled).
• Maximum (worst-case) power consumption:
- DC powered: 16.0W
- PoE powered (802.3af, IPM enabled): 13.5W
- PoE powered (802.3at/bt): 20.8W
- All numbers above are without an external USB device
connected. When sourcing the full 5W power budget
to such a device, the incremental (worst-case) power
consumption for the AP is up to 5.7W (PoE powered) or
5.5W (DC powered).
• Maximum (worst-case) power consumption in idle mode:
12.6W (PoE) or 9.7W (DC)
• Maximum (worst-case) power consumption in deep-sleep
mode: 5.9W (PoE) or 1.5W (DC)
