It might be doing that.  I will check when I get back to the lab.

55v out of what exactly?  It seems to me that they have internal DC-DC 
converters to regulate voltage per port  You can see this if you go to "status" 
which shows 3V/24V/48V board voltages.  As an example, I have several 
WS-12-250-DC models that I'm supplying ~54VDC to, but the 48V board voltage 
shows ~49VDC.

  When I put in 55 I get out 55.

  They can take 9-72V and put out 24 or 48V.

  I don’t think  Netonix had a DC-DC, it just puts out what it is fed.

  Remember that Forrest's SyncInjector/PowerInjector/RackInjector products 
allow 2A per port. But maybe it doesn't matter because of the built-in current 
protection?

  Also consider that something like a Medusa could be running on battery power 
for >30 minutes. Say 75W @ 44VDC = ~1.71A worst case. I say 75W due to 
variables (cable length, etc). It's fine if your supply is always 56VDC. I use 
a lot of Traco BCMU360s which are regulated 48VDC, which then becomes ~1.57A. 
Well, it dips down to about 46 volts or so when the battery is getting low. I'm 
sure there are/will be folks wanting to run a 450m on a Netonix. Maybe it 
doesn't matter because the Netonix internal DC-DC always puts out 54VDC, 
doesn't it? I don't know.
