1. Introduction “Inline power” is a feature offered on Ethernet switches. It is a means by which the switch can supply power to a network device within the same cable that carries the Ethernet signaling. This simplifies network installation and powering design, removing the need for a separate power supply for each IP telephone in the network. IEEE 802.3af-2003 defines a standard protocol to be used by power sourcing equipment (PSE) and powered devices (PD).

The powering tests included verification of the following after the product was connected to the switch: • • • Successful boot operation For Avaya IP telephones, successful registration with an Avaya Media Server/Gateway and completion of a test call For Wireless LAN Access Points, successful registration for an Avaya IP softphone with an Avaya Media Server/Gateway and completion of a test call.

default. The Avaya IP telephones and Wireless Access Points will receive power automatically when they are plugged into the switch port if the switch senses a “maintain power signature”. Three CLI commands can be used to configure inline power status for a switch port: • • • power inline never permanently disables inline-power on a port. power inline auto sets the switch port to supply power automatically.

4. Verification Steps The following CLI session demonstrates connection, verification, and control of an Avaya IP telephone. Steps 1. • • • Description Connect an Avaya IP telephone as shown in Figure 1 to Ethernet port 0/1 on the switch. Verify that the telephone is powered and is booting by inspecting the display. Check status of the port using the command shown.

5. Conclusion The Cisco 3550-24 PWR inline power switch can provide inline power to Avaya 4612/4624 Gen-1 IP telephones with Avaya 30A switch bases, Avaya 4610SW, 4620, 4620SW, 4630SW IP telephones, and Avaya 4602SW SIP telephone. The switch can also provide inline power to Avaya 4602, 4602SW, 4606 Gen-2, 4612/4624 Gen-2 IP telephones and Avaya Wireless AP-6 Access Point when the power inline delay shutdown is configured. The Avaya IP telephones and Wireless Access Points are designed to the IEEE 802.
