Any idea if a FortiAP 221C can be connected downstream of a Ubiquiti UniFi Switch US48500W and receive both data and POE power? I can't quite get the specs of the FortiAP and the Ubiquiti UniFi switch to line up.

Upon further research it appears that the FortiAP 221C requires IEEE 802.3af (12.9 W) power. The UniFi switch says that it by provides auto‑sensing PoE+ by default, so 802.3af/at devices can be plugged in and automatically receive PoE. I presume that since the 221C requires 802.3af and the UniFi provides 802.3af/at that the UniFi can provide POE to the 221C's. Is that correct?
