ATA/VMI power

[John Lewis]

I've been adding some equipment to our system (8x24 for what it's worth) to optimize our telephone line requirements. Presently require 2 more ATA's and 1 VMI. I have had good luck in the past buying from online auctions -- know I will get burnt sooner or later ...

I am seeing several units that appear to be good candidates other than they are missing power supplies. The few places that I have seen replacement power supplies are very expensive ( on the order of $70).

Anyone know what the pinout is for the power connector? Any good sources for more reasonable ps? Is there a solution that allows more than one unit on a single power supply? Any other ideas?

Did you ever get any assistance with this topic? Any solutions to the power adapter issue? I'm facing the same thing. I have three ATAs with no ac adapters and don't want to spend $80 each!

$80 is way overpriced. I'd keep looking for a better price if I were you.

I found the reference; the pinout and other info is on
Thread799-335486 gary 2511 made an entry about 5 entries down and states the pinouts for the power supply din connectors. also not mentioned was that the safety ground is on the middle pin of the connector.
