z  Each Ethernet electrical port can supply at most a power of 15,400 mW to a PD. 
z  When AC power input is adopted for the switch, the maximum total power that can be provided is 
300 W. The switch can determine whether to supply power to the next remote PD it detects 
depending on its available power. 
z   When DC power input is adopted for the switch, it is capable of supplying full power to all of the 
24/48 ports, that is, 15,400 mW for each port, and the total power is 369.6 W/739.2 W. 
z  The PSE processing software on the switch can be upgraded online. 
z  The switch provides statistics about power supplying on each port and the whole equipment, which 
you can query through the display command. 
z  The switch provides two modes (auto and manual) to manage the power feeding to ports in the 
case of PSE power overload. 
z  The switch provides over-temperature protection mechanism. Using this mechanism, the switch 
disables the PoE feature on all ports when its internal temperature exceeds 65°C (149°F) for 
self-protection, and restores the PoE feature on all its ports when the temperature drops below 
60°C (140°F). 
z  The switch supports the PoE profile feature, that is, different PoE policies can be set for different 
user groups. These PoE policies are each saved in the corresponding PoE profile and applied to 
ports of the user groups. 
 
 
z  When you use the PoE-capable Switch 4200G to supply power, the PDs need no external power 
supply. 
z  If a remote PD has an external power supply, the PoE-capable Switch 4200G and the external 
power supply will backup each other for the PD. 
z  Only the 100 Mbps Ethernet electrical ports of the PoE-capable Switch 4200G support the PoE 
feature.
