Power

The E0 port supports PoE-in (AP is a PoE-PD device), allowing the AP to draw power from a compliant PoE power source. If PoE is not available, a proprietary AP-AC2-48C power adapter (sold separately) can be used to power the access point. When both PoE and DC power sources are available, the DC power source takes precedence. In that case, the access point simultaneously draws a minimal current from the PoE source. In the event that the DC source fails, the access point switches to the PoE sources.

When powered by 802.3at Class 4 PoE or DC power, AP-723H operates without restrictions. When powered by 802.3af Class 3 PoE, USB is disabled. AP-723H does not provide PoE-PSE output on the downlink ports.

The Intelligent Power Monitoring (IPM) feature may also be used to manage the power consumption preferences for this device. When enabled, the user may enable/disable power restrictions for the access point using HPE Networking's AP management software. Refer to the HPE Networking AP-723H Dual Platform Hospitality Access Point datasheet for details on possible functional restrictions when the AP is powered by PoE, and how IPM can help to avoid or minimize these restrictions.
