TCL Script to shut down power to IP Phones

I've already posted this in the Unified Comms section but had no response so thought I'd try here.

Does anyone know of a way to shut down the power to IP Phones lets say every evening and weekends to conserve power? Just thinking green!!

Would a TCL script do the job or are Cisco looking into ways of doing this in the future?

TIA.

Darren,

Not sure about TCL - but I have a telnet script program that telnet's to a cisco switch that provides PoE.

I have it logon at 7pm on Friday and issue the below commands:-

interface range g1/0/1 1/0/48

power inline never

this shuts power off to all the switch ports that have phones attached.

Then Monday morning a 7am another script is run:-

interface range g1/0/1 1/0/48

no power inline never

Works for me!

Here is the link for the tool I use:-

Darren,

I did see a TCL script that does shut off PoE at pre defined times for a 6500. I haven't tried it yet but plan to soon. Check out the link to the Cisco EEM scripting community.

HTH,

Thanks to you both Mark & Andrew. I've now got something to go away and work with. Much appreciated.

Looking for something simple for my UC500 @home.  Currently running 12.4(12.12)T

I would like to have a script run at night and turn all PoE ports off, then kick them back on early in the AM.  I had a look at the green script from the 6500 team at http://forums.cisco.com/eforum/servlet/EEM?page=search_results&fn=search&catId=1&count=20&skip=0&sortBy=3&order=DESC&mode=browse
This obviously won't work on the UC500 although the command
Cowacella#show power inline
PowerSupply   SlotNum.   Maximum   Allocated       Status

INT-PS           0        80.000    18.900          PS GOOD

gives a clue. 
Rather than write one myself, which I will do if no one responds, I was hoping someone had already done this or found a better way.  There is nothing in the CCA menus about this (hint hint)
I also don't find EEM on here.  Seems to have come out in a later rev of ios.
