Intelligent POE

The switch features Intelligent POE power consumption management to help keep the power and the data flowing, even when the switch experiences a power fault. Intelligent POE monitors the power consumption of the connected devices, and in the event of large power fluctuations the switch shuts down one port at a time rather than shutting down all ports. Unlike typical switches that shut down all ports as once, this switch shuts down the highest number port first, then the next highest number until the switch detects the power consumption is below the POE budget. For example, if the switch has eight POE ports and each port is connected to a network camera, the switch disables port number 8 first, then subsequent ports until the power budget is below the threshold wattage.
