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 the right pins so that standard POE will work with Cisco POE, but it does not (other POE devces work fine on the Netgear such as SNOMs), at least not on the Netgear. I have tried several different settings on the phone as well, changing the media type, but the FS116P just does not recognise that there is a POE devices attached to it. If anyone has any experience gettings these phones to work on this switch I would appreciate any help.
