I'm ordering some more phones - I have the Polycom IP 500's now and I
like them. I need some less expensive phones, and I'd like to stay
with all Polycoms for ease of administration. I've heard, though, that
the IP 300's don't support PoE even though their brochures say they do.
Has anybody have firsthand experience with them? Is this true?
Yep. They have no onboard POE chip, hence the reduced cost. Polycom gets
away saying they support POE by selling you at $40 cable that contains
either a Cisco or 802.3af compliant dongle.
Well, that's good to know. At $40 bucks a pop, the total price with the phone is still cheaper than the competition for the 500, but that makes the 300 rather unattractive in comparison to some other phones.
Anybody have any suggestions for a good, simple 2 line SIP phone that supports PoE? Has anybody seen the Sipura SPA-841 yet? Will it support PoE? Does the Zultys Zip2 support PoE?
