5. Observations
Table 1 shows the detected class and power allocated from the Nortel 5520-24T-PWR switch. IP Telephones were connected directly to the switch. Cables of different lengths were used. Cable length and impedance affects power usage, so the measurements listed here may vary based on the cable used. The power measurements reported here are only for reference purposes.

Table 1: Power Measurements
*The Avaya one-X Value Edition 1603 IP Telephone with PoE Splitter is a Class 2 Powered Device. It was observed that the Nortel 5520-24T-PWR was not able to properly detect its class. The switch reported different classes for the device, but showed power measurements in the expected range, and was able to properly provide power to the device. The class for all other devices was properly detected. It should be noted that the Avaya one-X Value Edition 1603 IP Telephone with PoE Splitter has been tested with other PoE switches and its class was properly detected.
6. Verification Steps
The following commands can be used with the Nortel 5520-24T-PWR to display the device class detected and power provided.
