AP WAX630E PoE++ injector or switch
Hi all, can anyone advise me on whitch PoE switch or injector would be suitable for WAX630E? I just get YuanLey Gigabit 60W, PoE++ Injector but it seams that it dose not work. I notece that on ...
Jakicevic, Yes you have to use a 60watt or greater switch. I found a switch by a company Linovision. 8 PoE ports. 4 are 90watts and the other 4 are 30watts. I saw the data sheet and I read what you read 27.4 watts. When i plugged my WAX630E in the 30watt PoE port, it would not come on. It dose work in the 90 watt port. The only thing the switch isn't a managed switch. I wrote the company Linovision asking them to come up with a manage switch with the same port configurations and they said they are working on it. Netgear has one the 4350 but it's to exspensive.
With any PoE device requesting IEEE802.3bt, it won't be powered from a switch PoE port supporting IEEE802.3af/at only, despite the device seems to offer 30 W. It's mute to think about bulbs and AC power, we talk of industry standard PoE here.
Peek and poke over the Linovision offerings, shows eg. a switch with these specs:
- Port 1-4 supports IEEE802.3af/at/bt 90W PoE (Power over Ethernet), port 5-8 supports IEEE802.3af/at 30W PoE
Very obvious why the WAX630E won't and can't be powered from what is specified as a IEEE802.3af/at 30W PoE port. It's a strict handshake between PD (Powered Service) and PSE (Power Source Equipment). Forget about what you learnt at school about electricity. Unrelated to Netgear...
