Hi,

I have Cisco 7960 ip phone, i have connected that in a PoE port, the phone doesn't boot, so what i use to do is, i use a power adaptor, then the ip phone bootz after the ip phone is booted completely, i remove the power adaptor, the ip phone functionz normally, this practice i am doing it when ever i switch OFF & switch ON the ip phone. I also tried connecting to the existing working IP phonez which doesn't even require a power adaptor for booting. those phones works perfectly, i tired replacing with this ip phone on that, the problem is same.

forgot to include in the my previous post, all these ip phones are connected on 3COM switch.

No enough power on the 3com switch...

During start up, it will require a lot of power, as compare to running in operation mode

Actually the reason is that the 7960 is a pre-standard PoE phone, so called cisco PoE.

As fa as I'm aware, the 3com switch doesn't supports cisco PoE.
