| Maximum (Worst-Case) power consumption | − DC powered: 16.0W − PoE powered (802.3af, IPM enabled): 13.5W − PoE powered (802.3at/bt): 20.8W − idle mode: 11W (PoE or DC) − in deep-sleep mode: 1W (PoE or DC) Note • 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 access point will operate without restrictions. • When powered by 802.3af (class 3) PoE and with the IPM feature enabled, the access point 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 access point 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). • 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 access point is up to 6.5W. |
