Power injector for 1608 IP phone

[nixonmi]

According to documentation there are 2 possibilities for powering 1608 IP phone. One is using PoE Ethernet switch and another is using local power adapter.

But in case when there is an existing non-PoE Ethernet switch it could be useful to add just PoE injector. Avaya 1151D1 power injector is only for 9600 IP phones and in documentation is stated that 1151D1 shouldn't be used for 1600 phones.

I suppose that any standard PoE injector should be working with 1608 IP phone?

Unfortunatelly, for our region, we have just two IP phone options for ordering, 1600 and 9600.

Since 1600 is cheaper, it is usually a primary choice.

But, PoE injector just simulate PoE powering from switch, so I think that it should be working with 1608 phone? Strange is that Avaya don't distribute that PoE injector?

The only good way is using a POE switch.
POE injectors mostly seems to be more expensive in the end and the local power supplies are crap.


BAZINGA!

I'm not insane, my mother had me tested!

We have used many different types of POE injector, from Avaya's to generic brands and all have worked fine with the 1600's

Thank you guys.

amriddle01 did you maybe try Avaya's SPPOE-1A with 1608/1616 phones?
