How much juice does a typical IP phone draw? I noticed that the Linksys SRW2224P only provides 7.5W if you use all 24 PoE ports (or 15W to 12 ports). My Polycom IP501 has a 9W brick but I dunno if there's some headroom in that figure or not. The Dell 3424P will provide full 15W power to it's 24 ports but it's $749. _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
