Power sources and power consumption - The AP supports direct DC power and Power over Ethernet (POE) on port E0
- When both DC and POE power sources are available, DC power takes priority over POE
- Power sources are sold separately; see the 610 Series Ordering Guide for details
- When powered by DC or 802.3at (class 4) POE, the AP will operate without restrictions
- When powered by 802.3af (class 3) POE with the IPM feature disabled, the AP will disable the USB port
- 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):
- DC powered: 12.5W/18.2W
- POE powered: 14.7W/20.9W
- This assumes that up to 5W is supplied to the attached USB device
