You don't need to change any wiring. Just be sure that the LAN wiring
terminates at a PoE LAN switch (PoE would not be passed through an
intermediate switch).
You will get an AC adapter with your phone. If the phone fails to power
up, you can plug the adapter into the thingie in the PoE cable (not the
phone).
Also, the IP601 has a 24V AC adapter while the IP501 has a 12V adapter.

Hi,
I'm not clear on how to use Power--over-Ethernet, specifically with
Polycom phones.
What I understand, is that by buying the Polycom 501 with the 802.3af
cable bundle, I simply connect my phone, through the Polycom provided
"special" RJ-45 cable, into a PoE capable switch, and voilà!
Is this true? And if so, what happens when the Phone doesn't
connect directly to the switch? (let`s say there is wiring in the wall
that goes to a patch panel, for example. Do I need to change all the
wiring in the office?)
