POE power limiting to 802.3af

Is there a way to limit the amount of watt's that can be drawn by a single port? For instance I'm looking to make sure my Access Point can run at 802.3af and not 802.3at due to power limitations of a Netonix WS-6-MINI.



Thanks,



Dan

To the best of my knowledge there's no way to control the amount of power a port can deliver on any Netonix switch. The DC switches have a priority option on the Power tab that control the order devices get powered up/down as the battery loses power, but that doesn't apply to the AC switches.

What would the switch do if there is not enough power for all the devices? Does it allow one device to pull all the power or does it equally distribute?
