Power Source in AP Configuration

The table below displays the PoE mode as per industry standards.

The currently used APs have AF, AT, AT+ convention modes. The standardization applies when the AP is forced to certain PoE power mode. If the AP is set to AUTO PoE mode, feedback displays PoE mode of the AP is currently configured.

The PoE mode as per the industry standards:

Industry Standard PoE Modes

Selection Power@PSE Power@AP (100M Cable)
802.3af 15.4W 12.95W
802.3at 30W 25.5W
802.3bt/Class 5 45W 40W→35W
802.3bt/Class 6 60W 51W

PoH Consumer Customers, for example, audio systems) 95W

The controller GUI power mode drop-down has the following set of PoE mode configurations:

PoE Mode Settings

802.3af 1
802.3at 2
802.3bt/Class 5 3
802.3bt/Class 6 4
802.3bt/Class 7 5
Note: The 802.3bt/Class5 is chosen for AP's with older software which advertise AT+.
Note: The below tables are applicable for stand alone APs as well. However, the IOT functionality is not available.

POE tables for different 11AT/ BT5 Access Point

6.1.1 update

For 3-radio APs starting R760, the power mode table will support another power mode within bt5. When the LLDP module is loaded the power negotiation starts from 40W (BT5) in auto or BT5 mode and stops negotiation when it reaches 25.5W (AT).

Note: WLAN services are available only if the power negotiation is completed. Hence, there may be a delay in availability for WLAN services.
