Avaya Vantage - Connecting Avaya Vantage to the Network

• 802.3at PoE (Class 4)
• 48 Vdc power supply
If you use the 802.3at networking switch or the power adapter, Avaya Vantage
™
USB port delivers
up to 500mA. If you use the 802.3af networking switch, Avaya Vantage
™
USB port delivers up to
100mA.
You can use a 48 volt, 30 watt power adapter to power Avaya Vantage
™
in the following
conditions:
• You are using Wi-Fi to connect to the network instead of using an PoE networking switch
port.
• The networking switch port does not support the 802.3af or 802.3at PoE specification.
• The device requires more power than 802.3af and 802.3at PoE switch port is not available.
For example, when a USB device that requires more than 0.5 watt is connected to Avaya
Vantage
™
and only 802.3af PoE ports are available, Avaya Vantage
™
must be connected to a
power adapter.
You must purchase the power adapter separately.
If Avaya Vantage
™
is connected to both a 48 Vdc power supply and a PoE networking switch port,
then the following occurs if one of the power sources is disconnected:
• If the power adapter is disconnected, Avaya Vantage
™
reboots. If the networking switch
supports either the 802.3at or 802.3af specification, Avaya Vantage
™
continues to work after
the reboot.
• If the networking switch is disconnected, Avaya Vantage
™
continues to work without a reboot.
If Avaya Vantage
™
is connected to the PoE networking switch and the power adapter is
connected, Avaya Vantage
™
continues to work without a reboot.
