Um i think you are mistaken. The 5501 board will not provide Power over ethernet but rather can be powered by power over ethernet. You could do some kind of sketchy soldering to make it provide power, but that would surely void the warranty. You need to get a power over ethernet injector for the phone (or build one). something like this: http://www.metrix.net/passive-poe-adapter-18v-20w-p-338.html would probably work well. You might want to check the docs for your IP phone and see what cisco recommends.
Certain switches by cisco provide power over ethernet if you plan on having many IP phones. 2010/3/1 Jose Valdivia <[email protected]>: > Hello, > > Do I have to load some modules or configure in someway my soekris net5501 to > have Power Over Ethernet ?
