I have had two phones that wont power up with PoE. I can plug these
into a power brick and they work fine. Has anyone experienced this and
more so is there a way to repair the phone?



Thanks,

I am presuming you have tried placing these phones in the locations of
existing, working phones to ensure it is not a cabling issue. If not,
then do so. We need to find out if it is a phone or cabling issue.

If they do not power up at the other position, then it is a dead phone, RMA it.

If they do, then we have a cabling issue of some sort. Is it possible
we have a non-POE switch between there and the MDF?

We could also have a crushed cable, a really long run, etc... If it is
just a power issue (good ethernet, bad power), then plug it in there
and use a power brick to power up the phone...

It could also be an issue with the port. (Sorry if you've already ruled
this out) I've experienced switches turning POE off on individual ports
once a non POE device was connected to the port. You have to manually
enable POE on these ports to bring it back up. There's a show command
that will indicate if POE is on or off on switch ports.

Also, it you should review the number of ports with active PoE. You
might have exceeded the switches power supply capability. Turn off PoE
on ports that don't require power.

I probably should have elaborated more. The trouble with both of these
phones seems to be the power module. I plugged a new phone into where
the bad phone was removed and it works fine. I took the bad phone to a
known good port it does not work. I plug in a power brick it works.
The phones seem to not be able to sense PoE and I was hoping perhaps
someone else might have experienced this and have some solution. My
assumption is that the phone is just no longer any good without a power
brick, but I thought I would ask.



Thanks all,
