LAN switching products

The 1152A1 can be collocated with the data equipment or closer to the endpoints. In all cases, IEEE 802.3af capable IP devices must connect directly to this PDU. The PDU cannot power any device if a hub or a switch is between itself and the endpoint because it will not sense the resistive signature needed to authorize the release of power.

Power modes (Avaya IP Telephones)

The Avaya IP Telephone has four different power modes:

Ethernet spare pairs (4/5 and 7/8)

Ethernet signaling pairs (1/2 and 3/6)

Traditional telephony (7/8)

(4630 model only) External transformer with a barrel connector The 1152A1 power unit powers only through pairs 4/5 (+) and 7/8 (-).

Barrel connector through brick transformer

This brick type transformer provides 5 watts of power to the telephone. The Avaya telephone treats this brick as the primary power source, and will not accept power from the Ethernet cable if the barrel is seated into the telephone, with or without the brick attached to AC power.

Ethernet cable through 1152A1 PDU

Adequate power from the 1152A1 is supplied to the generation 2 telephones over the Ethernet cable. Category 5 or better cable is required for Fast Ethernet to function from the IP Telephone.

Power using adapters

Generation 1 telephones can receive power from the 1152A1 through an in-line adapter. This adapter provides the resistive signature so that the 1152A1 allows power to flow to the telephone. The generation-2 telephone does not need an adapter, but it might mistakenly be used on a generation-2 telephone. Both generation phones work as designed through all tests performed in Avaya labs.

Interoperability with Wireless Access Point products

The 1152A1 unit can also power Avaya’s Wireless Access Point systems. The AP1, AP2, or AP3 act as a bridge between the wireless and the wired LAN. This system requires a 5-volt power supply that can be replaced by a splitter, which fits in the same cavity as the original power converter and allows power over the Ethernet, eliminating the need to find a power source close to the unit.
