When a compatible Power Over Ethernet (POE) device (such as the Alcatel
Wireless Access Point) is connected to an FE+SPOE port, the port can provide
operating power to that device through the connected Ethernet cable. This
allows APs to be installed in areas where electrical outlets are unavailable,
undesirable, or not permitted, such as in the plenum and air handling spaces.
The line card automatically detects when compatible POE devices are
connected and require power.
