Hello,
I am trying to use the hEX PoE platform in place of old fiber media converters so that I can add an Aruba AP-635 nearby. The AP-635 cannot boot up functionally (it can power up enough to stage a basic config but it can't power it's radios on) using anything less than 802.3at POE.
The spec sheet for the hEX PoE...
https://mikrotik.com/product/RB960PGS#f ... ifications
Lists that 802.3at PoE is one of its capabilities.
PoE-out
Details
PoE-out ports Ether2-Ether5
PoE out 802.3af/at
Max out per port output (input 18-30 V) 1 A
Max out per port output (input 30-57 V) 450 mA
Max total out (A) 2 A
I have the Mikrotik powered using a 54.6V 2A power supply. Each hEX will only be powering a single AP (30W max).
When the AP boots up it shows that it is only receiving 802.3af power. Is there an obvious setting that I have overlooked which is required to allow the hEX PoE to supply 802.3at power? I have tried the "PoE LLDP Enable" and that didn't make a difference. I am running the 7.12 router OS. Is there a bug in that code version?
