Administration of the Avaya G350 Media Gateway - Avaya Support

PoE overviewPlug and Play OperationYou can add and remove powered devices without manually reconfiguring the switch, since itperforms a periodic automatic load detection scan on non-powered ports.●●If a powered device that fits the above criteria is detected on a non-powered port, thenpower is applied to the port.If a powered device is removed from a port, then power is denied to that port. Thedisconnected port is then scanned as well.In addition, if the PoE module is removed and replaced with module of the same type, the portpower configuration of the module is retained.Powering devicesThe Avaya G350 MM314 PoE media module has its own power supply. Therefore, a full 210 Wof power is available for PDs. Each port can supply up to 19.5 W by default. If a powered devicetries to draw more than the maximum allowed power per port, power is denied.Since 210 W may not be enough for driving powered devices on all the ports simultaneously, apriority mechanism exists.The priority mechanism determines the order in which ports are powered after the switch isbooted.There are three user-configurable PoE priority levels:●●●LowHighCriticalThe default value for all ports is Low.Power is automatically applied to PDs according to their priority when the power budgetincreases. If the power budget is exceeded, power is not provided to a new PD when you attachit, even if you define its priority as High or Critical.Note:Note:The order in which ports are powered within the same priority group is notsequential.Issue 3 January 2005 113
