asterisk users - Apr 2006 - stupid trick of the day (fried polycom)

I've been playing around with a new system I'm going to install in 
another office.  In setting up the Polycom's, I accidently used a new 
power supply from a new 601 (24VDC) with an 600.  The 600 only 
require 12VDC.  Now, I get nothing on the screen of the 600 when I 
plug in 12 VDC.  (At the time, I didn't even realize the power 
supplies were supplying different voltages.)

Guess I'll have to buy a new 601 to replace the 600.

Yes, this is one of my peeves with the 601... they changed power supply
voltages without changing connector styles, leading to this being a very
easy mistake to make.
