If the power requirements for attached devices exceed the total power budget of the
switch, the PoE power to the device on the highest-numbered active PoE+ port is
disabled to make sure that the devices connected to the higher-priority, lower-numbered
PoE+ ports are supported first.
Although a device is listed as an 802.3at PoE+-or 802.3af PoE–powered device, it might
not require the maximum power limit that is specified by its IEEE standard. Many devices
require less power, allowing all four PoE+ ports to be active simultaneously when the
devices correctly report their PoE class to the switch.
For more information about PoE, see the installation guide and user manual, both of
which you can download from netgear.com/support/download/.
Connect PoE equipment in a home (model GSS108EPP)
The following figure shows an example of how you can connect PoE and non-PoE
equipment to model GSS108EPP in a home.
The total PoE power budget of model GSS108EPP is 47W. Make sure that the total PoE
power required by all the connected PoE devices combined does not exceed this
budget.
