C60 and PoE in Partner Mode

[jbass_srcinc]

On the Trio C60 (through the web configurator) under "Settings" - "Power Management"

There is an option to enable Power over Ethernet (PoE). This is supposed to allow for a PoE enabled device (ie. another C60) to to be powered and receive connectivity via the LAN out port. 

"If enabled, the Poly Trio LAN OUT interface provides PoE power to a connected device. If disabled, no PoE power is provided by the LAN OUT port."

I ask because it's not working w/a C60 that is paired to an X50 in Zoom mode.

I have it set to Class 0 13W

X50: 3.2.1-224090
C60: 5.9.5.2983

Thanks,
James

Hello @jbass_srcinc ,

Welcome back to the Poly Community.

I do not think the Studio X supports to be powered via PoE according to the datasheet >here<

Please ensure to provide some feedback if this reply has helped you so other users can profit from your experience.

Hello Steffen,
My question is in reference to a Trio C60, not an X50.

According to the admin documentation >here< the LAN out port does not provide PoE, but the text in the C60 web configurator states:

"If enabled, the Poly Trio LAN OUT interface provides PoE power to a connected device. If disabled, no PoE power is provided by the LAN OUT port."

So there is a contradiction between the two sources.

Thanks,

James

Hello @jbass_srcinc 

I tested linking a C60 to another C60 using PoE+ and it works.

Steffen,

See attached images.
This was the result with a PoE injector and a PoE switch.
We don't a PoE+ switch in house.

Thanks,
James

Hi @jbass_srcinc 

as precisely stated on my Cisco 3560:

If this fails please work with support.
