LANCOM LX-6500(E): Improvements to PoE power management as of LCOS LX 6.14 in IEEE 802.3at operation

Description:

As of LCOS LX version 6.14 REL there are improvements in the PoE power management of the LANCOM LX-6500(E) for PoE operation according to IEEE 802.3at. This document describes the changes that have been made.

Requirements:

• LANCOM LX-6500 or 6500E
• LCOS LX as of Version 6.14 REL (download)

PoE-Power Management up to LCOS LX 6.12:

• Operation with power supply:
  • No limitations
    
    
• PoE in accordance with IEEE 802.3bt:
  • No limitations
    
    
• PoE in accordance with IEEE 802.3at:
  • The 6 GHz module of the access point is switched off.
    
    
• PoE in accordance with IEEE 802.3af:
  

  • The 6 GHz module of the access point is switched off.

  • The 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz modules are only operated with 2x2 MIMO.
