The NetVanta 1131 RPS/EPS unit provides redundant power feeds via an alternate AC power circuit. In this instance, the NetVanta switch is connected to the primary AC circuit, and connected to NetVanta 1131 RPS/EPS, which is powered via an alternate AC power source. Should the primary AC circuit fail, the NetVanta 1131 RPS automatically provides power feed to the connected NetVanta switch eliminating any downtime.
The NetVanta 1131 RPS output provides redundancy for NetVanta PoE and non-PoE switches in the event of an internal power supply failure. In the event the switch’s internal power supply fails, the NetVanta 1131 would power the NetVanta switch until the power unit is replaced or swapped out.
The NetVanta 1131 EPS output provides external backup power supply to the NetVanta 1235P and the 1500 and 1600 Series PoE switches, in case the internal PoE power supply fails. The NetVanta 1131 can provide up to 370 watts of redundant PoE budget to ensure PoE-powered edge devices such as VoIP phones, wireless Access Points (APs) or IP security cameras operate without interruption.
