1. Introduction

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a feature offered on Ethernet switches. It allows the switch to

supply power to a network device within the same cable that carries the Ethernet signaling. This

simplifies network installation and powering design, removing the need for a separate power

supply for a network device. IEEE 802.3af defines a standard protocol to be used by power

sourcing equipment (PSE) and powered devices (PD). The PoE module of the Extreme Networks

BlackDiamond 8810 is IEEE 802.3af compliant and can provide inline power to the Avaya 4600

Series IP telephones and Avaya Wireless Access Points, which are IEEE 802.3af compliant PDs.

The Avaya product configurations addressed by these Application Notes are shown in Figure 1.

The following Avaya products are directly connected to the switch:

• Avaya 4601 IP telephone

• Avaya 4602 and 4602SW IP telephones

• Avaya 4602SW SIP telephone

• Avaya 4610SW IP telephone

• Avaya 4620 IP telephone with and without EU24

• Avaya 4620SW IP telephone with and without EU24

• Avaya 4630SW IP telephone

• Avaya Gen-2 4606, 4612, and 4624 IP telephone

• Avaya Wireless AP-4 /5/6 802.11a/b/g Access Points

The Avaya Gen-1 4612 and 4624 IP telephones require the Avaya 30A Switch Base. Figure 2

shows the connections for the 30A switch base. The Avaya 4612 and 4624 telephones can be

identified as Gen-1 or Gen-2 by inspecting the model number. “1A” in the model number

indicates Gen-1; “2A” indicates Gen-2. The model number can be found by:

• Inspecting the label attached to the bottom of the telephone.

• Pressing Mute, V, I, E, W, # on the keypad and then pressing * until the model number

appears. Press # to exit.

Examples of model numbers are “4612D01A-003” (Gen-1) and 4612D02A-003 (Gen-2).

The powering tests included verification of the following after the product was connected to the

switch:

• Successful boot operation

• For Avaya IP telephones, successful registration with Avaya Communication Manager

and completion of a test call
