802.3af provides power on two of the four pairs. Which pair is determined by whether it is mode A or mode B.

I think the "conservative" version is mode B, since it puts the power on pins 4/5 (+) and 7/8 (-). Mode A is pins 1/2 (+), and 3/6 (-).

A device NOT expecting power on pins 1/2 or 7/8 will likely let the smoke out.

Here's the skinny from Wikipedia:

Is it possible to power a Unifi UVP VoIP phone with a Mimosa power supply? We 
have one that didn't come with a 48
volt power supply but we have extra Mimosa power supplies laying around.  The 
Unifi phone is 802.3 af compliant.
The Mimosa power supply lists 3/6 and 4/5 as positive and 1/2 and 7/8 as 
negative.
