- When powered by 802.3bt (class 6) PoE, the AP will operate without restrictions.
- When powered by 802.3bt (class 5) PoE with the IPM feature disabled, the AP will disable the USB-C port.
- Operating the AP with an 802.3at (class 4) POE with the IPM feature disabled, the AP will disable the USB ports, the SFP port, and one of the two chains on the 2.4Ghz radio
- Operating the AP with an 802.3af (class 3 or lower) POE source is not supported (except for AP staging)
- With IPM enabled, the AP will start up in unrestricted mode but may dynamically apply restrictions depending on the available power budget and actual consumption. The feature restrictions and order in which these get applied are configurable.
- Maximum (worst-case) power consumption (without/with a USB device attached):
- PoE powered: 29W/45.5W.
- This assumes that up to 16.5W total is supplied the attached USB devices
