similar to: D-LINK PoE switch, does it work with cisco or do I need to do the cable trick?

Hey guys, I was wondering what POE solutions are being used ? Ive done some searching on google and found that PowerDsine seems to be good brand. Any comments,suggestions, and experiences on POE hubs other POE products would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Steve Maroney

Hi, I'm not clear on how to use Power--over-Ethernet, specifically with Polycom phones. What I understand, is that by buying the Polycom 501 with the 802.3af cable bundle, I simply connect my phone, through the Polycom provided "special" RJ-45 cable, into a PoE capable switch, and voil?! Is this true? And if so, what happens when the Phone doesn't connect directly to the

I -think- that the Sipura 841 was PoE... and I'd been anxious to find out. However, according to Atacomm.com, it's been delayed until mid-January. *sigh* So: does anyone know of a (decent) phone that meets the following criteria, and isn't too expensive? - SIP - two (or more) lines - some form of TCP/IP-based configuration - 802.3af (power-over-ethernet) - 100 Mbit passthrough (not

3com have some goods POE kit and some very nice managed wall jacks that supply POE and are fully managed. Here's an auction that the seller just closed:- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=40990&item=5708757277&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW Last time I spoke to him he had 5 boxes of 20 units and was willing to sell them at around $575 with a bit of arm twisting.

I know this is on the wiki, I just want to confirm so I don't blow up my cisco phones. I've got several cisco 7940's all running using cisco power cubes. However, my boss wants me to switch just a few over to poe, but doesn't want to fork out the dough for a nice cisco poe switch, or anybody else's poe switch for that matter. So my question is, what is the '99.999%

Hi, folks: I just took delivery of new PoE cables (PN 2200-11077-002) for our Polycom phones here in the office. I have the following to report, for the erudition of existing Polycom users and those considering purchasing Polycom sets from the set of models noted in the subject: 1. The cables do indeed work (hooray). 2. The cable has a module on it about a third of the way from a female end.

I need to connect up to sixteen phones per building, I can use a cheap hub, but POE would be useful. Is there a cheap POE hub available? Everything I have seen has been expensive. Chris Mason

I'm trying to spec out hardware for a new office, and I'd like to include power over Ethernet as an option. I've seen a handful of PoE injectors around $1000 for 24 ports and a couple switches up around $2500 for 24 ports. Are there any cheaper options, short of buying a boatload of 1-port injectors off of ebay? I don't really need more then 24 ports of PoE out of 48 total

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

I have a 501 with traditional power and a 301 with PoE. I rightfully assumed that the traditional power from the 501 would work on the 301. How do I get the PoE to work? Do I use the Polycom PoE cable in addition to whatever PoE injection method I use? I have a Cisco PoE injector that works on my Cisco AP350 and my 7960. No combination of this injector, the Polycom cable, and the phone result in

Most decent phones have an ethernet passthrough (2 port) so you can plug in your PC. As long as your LAN is decent (Cat5 100baseT switched) the overhead using VoIP is

Hi listers, I am looking for people who have used Power over Ethernet switches, primarily in conjunction with Polycom IP 501's. I've been looking at the Linksys SRW224P, since I've had good luck with the SRW224 in our office. However, Nortel, Cisco, Adtran, etc. all have an offering, all of which vary in price. I would appreciate any input people have to offer. Thanks, James

Greetings, I mailed the list regarding an intercom system some months ago and we came to the conclusion that I should purchase a Polycom 501 phone. I'm now considering the purchase for this year, and I'm now wondering between the Polycom 501 and the 320 for the intercom. I don't need the spare ethernet on the phone because I would like to have my voice network separate from my

Ok, not exactly an Asterisk problem, but... I picked up some SNOM 200 phones because SNOM's have been recommended for use with Asterisk and they have line buttons that can subscribe to presence. However, they don't appear to power up when connected to my Negear FS108P, which is an 802.3af Power-over-ethernet capable hub. I am pretty sure these are the SNOM 200b, in that the ethernet

I am hoping that someone has had better luck with this than I have. I would like to connect Cisco 7940s and 7960s to the Netgear FS116P, and take advantage of its POE. I know that the Cisco phones use Cisco's "pre-standard" POE implementation, but as I understand it the difference is really only two pins. I bought a bunch of PowerDsine inline power adapters which supposedly change

We are currently considering the Linksys POE switch for a small Asterisk office deployment. There will be no separate wiring closet to put it in. Can anybody tell me if this switch has a loud fan? Users would not be able to tolerate a loud noise close by. Otherwise we will go with a fanless desktop switch. Thanks, -- Andres

Hello All, I apologize for the slightly off-topic question, but I'm sure that the people best acquainted with the issue would be hanging around here. We recently deployed several Linksys POE switches for some smaller customers (10-24 station) and appear to be suffering from intermittent lock-ups of the SNOM phones attached. Obviously we are running Asterisk for the gateway, but I was

Hi all, For a top quality setup, I will need to install high quality VoIP switches with QoS and PoE. My potential customer should not have any problem with call quality. Experienced folks, Please advice me what switches to install and at what price. I may need it for upto 100 phones. What else should I consider so that phones work without problem along with the computers on the same network?
