Switches/Hubs for PoE
Using a central power supply or the 8SHUBU PCB with the PoE jumpers set, power over category
5 network cables can be provided. This eliminates the need of installing separate power adapters for
each IP phone and it allows for centralized power backup. Note: The Aspire IP phones are not
IEEE 802.3af compliant unless an ILPA adapter is used for PoE. The ILPA, however, cannot be
used on the Uniden H.323 telephones. Refer to the ILPA Adapter Instructions, P/N 0893109 for
details.
If PoE (power over ethernet) is to be used to eliminate the separate power adapters, due to the
power requirements, a separate power source is suggested. It is recommended that you use one of
the central power supplies below:
●8SHUBU PCB - Provides 8-port switching hub and the ability to provide PoE for Aspire
equipment.
●802.1p/1q Support
●24-port power supply PoE-managed switch (NEC BlueFire 200/24)
●PoE (Power Over Ethernet) to Aspire IP/H.323 Phones
●Spare Pair (4/5, 7/8) / Signal Pair (1/2, 3/6) Selection
For systems which require layer 2 switching capability and PoE, the NEC BlueFire
200/24 switch is recommended. This unit provides layer 2 switch capability in addition to
being able to supply ethernet power to 24 NEC IP terminals.
●Cisco Data Switch - CDP Supported
Other manufacturer central power supplies may be usable, but the above items have been tested for
compatibility with the Aspire equipment.
Note: Each IP phone consumes one port. When automatically selected, the port number
ranges from 257-512. The port number can be manually assigned using the port range
001-512.
! CAUTION !
Only Aspire IP phones and Aspire IP Adapters and H.323 phones must
be connected to the 8SHUBU. The provided DC voltage provided
through the spare pairs (4/5, 7/8) may damage any other equipment.
