M2317 Remote Power

[buttercool]

Hello Tek-tips experts,

I had a question about remote power for the M2317. I have one (yes I’m asking this in the year 2018, and I should get rid of these 2317s but I’m actually really fond of the 2317 for my own use) and the only part I dislike is the power brick. Is there a part number or guide to sending power to a 2317 from the IDF — would it go over the secondary pair to the phone?

I saw a post in thread798-1098683 saying it could be done by ArchTelecom, but I saw no reference to it in the m2317 guides I have found in my archive and online.

Does anyone happen to have any experience to share on this topic? Does the same also apply to the m2112 Phone as well?

Don't recall the m2317 being powered from main frame or idf on local power supply you could power m2112 from idf you needed the 6 conductor line cord for the power

Hi tball1 appreciate your response. Yeah, I was surprised to read it in that Tek-Tips post as well! I have some 6 conductor cord laying around but am hesitant to start experimenting with the 2317 power supply in the IDF since there seems to be no actual documentation of this being support/done that I've found.
