Priority: this function will help to protect the 
system when the system power was over 
loaded, the system will disable PoE function of 
the lower priority PoE port to maintain the 
power budget to the PoE port which is in high 
priority. 
 
The total power resource of the system is 30 
watt sharing to the 4 PoE ports (maximum 
power for per port is 15.4 watt), when the PoE 
PD shared the power resource for over 30 watt, 
the system will automatically arrange the 
priority of these ports, the low port number will 
have the higher priority than the high port 
number, Port 1 > Port 2 > Port 3 > Port 4. 
 
For example: In this PoE Switch, Port 2 is using 
power with 7 watt, Port 3 is using power with 
15.4 watt, these two ports are totally using 22.4 
watt power, when there is an additional PoE PD 
inserted to Port 1 with 15.4 watt, that means the 
system power resource was over current, then 
the priority function will activate, the priority will 
set to the lowest port number then to highest 
port number, so Port 1 will have the 15.4 watt 
power, Port 2 will have 7 watt power, and the 
system will cut off the power transmitting to the 
Port 3 due to over current.
