C2RPS-POE Overview

The purpose of the C2RPS‐POE is to provide power backup to an Enterasys SecureStack
C2 PoE‐compliant stackable switch. If for some reason the switch looses power from its
internal power supply, the C2RPS‐POE can provide up to 500 Watts maximum operating
power to support switch operation and the 48 Vdc cessary to support 48 Vdc/data
connections to PDs (Powered Devices).

The C2RPS‐POE is shown in

Status LED

The C2RPS‐POE has one status LED located on the front panel, which indicates the
following:

•

LED on = RPS operating properly

•

LED off = RPS failed

Power Classifications and Deployment

Each PD has a Power Classification that indicates how much power it will consume as
shown in

Table 1‐1

. This information is sent through the data cable connected to the port

of a SecureStack PoE switch for power management purposes. The C2RPS‐POE can
supply up to 500 Watts of power, 370 Watts maximum to support PD connections and 130
Watts for switch operation. The 370 Watts is managed separately from the 130 Watts for
switch operation.
