POWER SOURCES AND POWER CONSUMPTION
The AP supports direct DC power and Power over Ethernet (POE; on port E0 and/or E1) When POE power is supplied to both Ethernet ports, the AP can be configured to combine or prioritize power sources When both DC and POE power sources are available, DC power takes priority over POE Power sources are sold separately; see the ordering Information section below for details When powered by DC, 802.3bt (class 5) POE or 2x 802.3at (class 4) POE, the AP will operate without restrictions. When powered by 1x 802.3at (class 4) POE and with the IPM feature disabled, the AP will disable the USB port, disable the other Ethernet port, operate the 5GHz radio in 4×4 mode, and disable tri-radio operation In the same configuration but with IPM enabled, the AP will start up in unrestricted mode, but may dynamically apply restrictions depending on the POE budget and actual power. The feature restrictions and order can be programmed. Operating the AP with an 802.3af (class 3 or lower) POE source is not supported. Maximum (worst-case) power consumption (dual-radio operation): DC powered: 32.6W POE powered (802.3bt or dual 802.3at): 38.2W POE powered (802.3at, IPM disabled): 25.1W All numbers above are without an external USB device connected. When sourcing the full 5W power budget to such a device, the incremental (worst-case) power consumption for the AP is up to 6.0W (POE powered) or 5.4W (DC powered). Maximum (worst-case) power consumption in idle mode (dual-radio operation): 15.0W (POE) or 15.1W (DC). Maximum (worst-case) power consumption in deep-sleep mode: 3.8W(POE) or 3.6W (DC)

Worst-case internal loss between radio interface and external antenna connectors (due to diplexing circuitry): 1.3dB in 2.4GHz and 1.7dB in 5GHz. AP-515: Four integrated dual-band downtilt omni-directional antennas for 4×4 MIMO with peak antenna gain of 4.2dBi in 2.4GHz and 7.5dBi in 5GHz. Built-in antennas are optimized for horizontal ceiling mounted orientation of the AP. The downtilt angle for maximum gain is roughly 30 degrees.

POWER SOURCES AND POWER CONSUMPTION
The AP supports direct DC power and Power over Ethernet (POE; on port E0) When both power sources are available, DC power takes priority over POE Power sources are sold separately; see the ordering Information section below for details When powered by DC or 802.3at POE, the AP will operate without restrictions When powered by 802.3af POE and with the IPM feature enabled, the AP will start up in unrestricted mode, but it may apply restrictions depending on the POE budget and actual power. What IPM restrictions to apply, and in what order, is programmable. When powered by 802.3af POE with the IPM feature disabled, the AP operates in power-save mode, and will apply some fixed restrictions: The USB interface and E1 Ethernet port are disabled The 5GHz radio is restricted to 2×2 operation Maximum (worst-case) power consumption: DC powered: 16W POE powered (802.3af, IPM enabled): 13.5W POE powered (802.3at/bt): 20.8W All numbers above are without an external USB device connected. When sourcing the full 5W power budget to such a device, the incremental (worst-case) power consumption for the AP is up to 5.7W (PoE powered) or 5.5W (DC powered). Maximum (worst-case) power consumption in idle mode: 12.6W (PoE) or 9.7W (DC) Maximum (worst-case) power consumption in deep-sleep mode: 5.9W (PoE) or 1.5W (DC)
