asterisk users - Oct 2005 - Can you use Polycom 500 with PoE Switch?

Hi,
Do you need a special cable and power for that unit or you can run it of PoE
Switch?
Thanks.

You can use PoE, but you need the Polycom PoE cable to be able to do it. 
Of course, that is well documented on Polycom's website, along with the 
wiki and many Polycom reseller web sites as well, so I'm not sure why 
you had to ask here....

Robert - The Polycom IP500 can be powered via PoE, but it will require a 
special cable in order to do so.

Also you need to know what type of PoE device you are using to power 
your Polycom phones.

If you are using a Cisco PoE capable switch, such as the 
WS-C3550-24PWR-SMI, WS-C3524-PWR-XL-EN, or any other Cisco PoE device, 
then you
need this specific Polycom PoE Cable - Polycom Model # 2200-11014-002

If you are using any other 802.3af PoE switch or midspan device to power 
your phones,
you need this Polycom PoE Cable - Polycom Model # 2200-11077-002

Kind of tricky, to review....

2200-11014-002 for "Cisco" PoE Switches or Injectors

2200-11077-002  for any other type of PoE Switch, Midspan or Injector
