It is indeed possible to connect both the power adaptor and PoE (Power over Ethernet) simultaneously to the access point.

How is the priority managed?

When both power sources are connected, the power adapter takes priority over PoE. The device will draw power from the power adapter if it is connected, and only if the power adapter is not connected will it use the PoE source.
