The AP supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) on port E0 and/or E1

When PoE power is supplied to both Ethernet ports, the AP can be configured to combine or prioritize power sources

Power sources are sold separately; see the ordering information for details

When powered by 1x 802.3at (class 4) PoE and with the IPM feature disabled, the AP will disable the other Ethernet port. In the same configuration but with IPM enabled, the AP will start up in unrestricted mode, but may dynamically apply restrictions depending on the PoE budget and actual power. The feature restrictions and order can be programmed.

Operating the AP with single or dual 802.3af (class 3 or lower) PoE source is not supported.
