Reyee Access Points can be powered in various ways, as they support multiple Power over Ethernet (PoE) standards. The device can automatically negotiate different PoE standards such as IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, or 802.3bt.
This negotiation capability allows the Access Point to adjust its power consumption according to the available power, either to operate at maximum capacity or to optimize energy usage when power conditions are limited.
Considerations when powering an Access Point:
1. PoE Injector
The PoE injector used must be capable of supplying the maximum power required by the Access Point.
For example, if the device supports 802.3af/802.3at power, it is recommended to use a 802.3at PoE injector, thus ensuring the device can operate without power restrictions.
2. PoE Switch
When the Access Point is connected to a PoE switch that supports 802.3af/802.3at negotiation, it is possible to configure or force the power mode so the device has the necessary power and operates at its maximum performance.
This article will explain how to verify the PoE power supplied to a Reyee Access Point, as well as how to identify and clear the insufficient power alarm:
The procedure will be shown both from the Reyee Cloud platform and through access to the device’s local web interface (Eweb).
Step 1
Start by locating the alarm list on the project’s home page and then selecting the “Logs & Alarms” section from the Ruijie Cloud platform.
Step 2
Next, configuration can be done from the Cloud by adding the PoE settings option, which will appear in the workspace. Select it.
Step 3
Once inside the PoE configuration, you can force the device to operate with higher power than the negotiated amount. This is for devices that show this alarm, which will appear in this list.
You can also perform this configuration locally via the Access Point’s Web interface:
To do this, enter the PoE configuration located at; "Settings"→ “Advanced” → “PoE Settings.”
Here you can modify the PoE negotiation options;
