1. Introduction

“Inline power” is a feature offered on some Ethernet switches. It is a means by which the switch

can 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 each IP telephone in the network. IEEE 802.3af-2003 defines a standard

protocol to be used by powering and powered devices.

The HP ProCurve Switch 2626-PWR is a 26-port (24 10/100Base-TX and 2 Gigabit) Ethernet

switch. It supplies its 10/100Base-TX ports with 406 watts of power for PoE applications

compatible with the IEEE 802.3af standard. Avaya 4600 Series IP telephones, Avaya wireless

LAN access points, and the HP ProCurve Switch 2626-PWR comply with this standard. These

Application Notes show how Avaya IP telephones and wireless LAN access points can be

connected to the HP ProCurve Switch 2626-PWR. Command line interface (CLI) commands

that display and control powering status of the switch ports are also demonstrated.

The sample configuration provided in Figure 1 depicts all of the Avaya products that were

provided inline power by the HP ProCurve Switch 2626-PWR. The following Avaya products

are directly connected to the switch:

• 4602 and 4602SW IP Telephones

• 4610SW IP Telephone

• 4620 and 4620SW IP Telephones (including the optional EU24 Button Expansion

Module)

• 4630SW IP Screenphone

• Gen-2 4606, 4612, and 4624 IP Telephones

• Gen-1 4612 and 4624 IP Telephones with 30A Ethernet Switch Base

• AP 3 and AP 5 Access Points

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

shows the connections for the 30A switch base. The 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).
