I have received my first shipment of IP300s, and they do NOT include the cable. I was given bad information, it seems. It was said that when I said Power Over Ethernet Accessory Cable for 802.3af, it was somehow misinterpreted as a Category 5 Patch Cable, which the phone does come with. Why I would really care about a UTP cable, I don't know... I don't understand how, as I was very specific, but oh well, my reseller is trying to make it right for me... > >The IP600 has built-in 802.3af support, so it will work on an 802.3af >link. It still requires an adapter cable to work on a Cisco powered link. I can verify the 600s working on an 802.3af switch, as I have 15 in production right now, working like a dream. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
