Hi, is there anyone trying a power over ethernet solution to feed IP phones? I'd like to buy a "good but cheap" hub/switch but I don't know which. Can anybody help me?? TIA Giorgio
Are you looking for a Mid-span hub or a switch? Basically a Mid-span hub will function as a Powered "patch panel" where a switch will be just that. A switch that will feed power to each device. What do you consider cheap and how many ports are you looking for? ------------------------ Regards, Sean Milheim iDREUS Corporation 1-800-761-6651 x1005 -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of gincantalupo Sent: Thursday, September 08, 2005 9:54 AM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: [Asterisk-Users] power over ethernet hub/switch Hi, is there anyone trying a power over ethernet solution to feed IP phones?

We use the old Cisco 3500, and works fine. The issue is which phones are you going to use, in order to have no problems with the polarity and the wiring.

We haven't made it too far but the phones (Cisco 7940) are powering properly and the testing is starting to move along. Thanks, Geoff
