Hi, Preamble: Forgive me if this seems like an RTFM question. I have a pretty straight forward question that I'm having a hard time finding the answer to. Perhaps my Google skills are weak today. I'm hoping that one of you has this answer at the top of their head.
I'm planning for my VOIP deployment and I'm looking at the Cisco SRW248G4P switch. (BTW Some of you might find this chart useful: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps9967/prod_models_comparison.html ) I noticed that it supports 48 ports of POE at 7.5 watts and 24 at 15 watts. I wanted to just double check that my phones don't draw more than 7.5 watts. Unfortunately, I can't find anything in the Aastra docs that say what wattage is required by any of their phones. All that's in the docs is that it needs POE. I've seen some forum posts indicating that the Grandstream 2000 series draws about 4 watts. That should be comparable to the Aastra draw but I'd feel reassured if someone could confirm. Question: Does anyone know how much power the Aastra phones require? If you'd like model number, let's take the 6757i for example since it's one of their larger ones. Thanks in advance, I just don't want to end up with a bunch of switches that will only power half of my phones. Dave
