The Snom VoIP phones support PoE and Nortel makes switches: http://www.nortelnetworks.com/products/02/bstk/switches/baystack_460/
I am not certain that they are compatible, as I have not used the Snom phones and have only used the Nortel switches with PoE adapters at the other end to power wireless access points or small hubs. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Ciholas Sent: Sunday, August 17, 2003 1:45 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Asterisk-Users] LAN switches with PoE? PoE phones? pamAssassin 2.55 (1.174.2.19-2003-05-19-exp) Hi all, I'm looking for recommendations on ethernet switches for a new install. Ideally would want switches with at least 24 ports, ideally with a GE uplink, and that support PoE (power over ethernet) on every port. I've seen lots of switches, and lots of "power hubs", but the combination, which makes a lot of sense, seems rare. What is out there? Do the switches need to be special for IP phones in anyway? QoS support? Managed? Also, are there PoE phones that work with *? Most I look at seem to be powered from AC wall blocks. We'd like to centralize the switching and power and provide a UPS so the phone system works when the power goes out. [Apologies, I'm new to this whole concept of IP phones and *.] -- Mike Ciholas (812) 476-2721 voice CIHOLAS Enterprises (812) 476-2881 fax 2626 Kotter Ave, Unit D [EMAIL PROTECTED] Evansville, IN 47715 http://www.ciholas.com _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
