What are affects of supplying only 14w of power instead of 30w to a 3802i

[andy-szymanski]

Hello,

I understand the Cisco 3802i AP needs 30w of power supplied to it to operate at normal capacity, however, if I need to install 10 onto an older 3750G switch, which can only supply 14w of POE, what are the affects on the access point?   Will it still be functional for the user's?

Thank you,

Andy

The APs may boot up, however the radios will be disabled  The 3802 APs require 30 watts .

3802 requires 30.0w PoE.  Period.  

If power is <20.0w PoE, then ALL of the AP's radios will be DOWN.
