Avaya Vantage™ can receive power from the following sources:
802.3af PoE (Class 3)
802.3at PoE (Class 4)
USB Type-C power supply
If you use the 802.3at networking switch or the USB Type-C power adapter, the general-purpose USB port of Avaya Vantage™ delivers up to 900mA. If you use the 802.3af networking switch, Avaya Vantage™ USB port delivers up to 100mA.
You can use a USB Type-C power adapter to power Avaya Vantage™ in the following conditions:
When using Wi-Fi to connect to the network instead of using a PoE networking switch port.
The networking switch port does not support the 802.3af or 802.3at PoE specification.
The device requires more power than an 802.3af PoE networking switch port can provide, and 802.3at PoE port is unavailable. For example, a USB device that requires more than 0.5 watts is connected to Avaya Vantage™, and only 802.3af PoE ports are available. Then, you must connect Avaya Vantage™ to a power adapter.
You must purchase the power adapter separately.
If Avaya Vantage™ is connected to a power supply and a PoE networking switch port and you disconnect one of the power sources, then the following occurs:
If you disconnect the power adapter, Avaya Vantage™ reboots. If the networking switch supports the 802.3at or 802.3af specification, Avaya Vantage™ continues to work after the reboot.
If you disconnect the networking switch, Avaya Vantage™ continues to work without a reboot.
If Avaya Vantage™ is already connected to a PoE networking switch and you connect the power adapter to the device, Avaya Vantage™ continues to work without a reboot.
