You can power the PolyTrio 8800 system with Power over Ethernet (PoE) or PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at Type 2).
When the Polycom Trio 8800 system is booting up, an on-screen message indicates the available power supply type. Note that PoE+ provides Polycom Trio systems with full functionality.
The following features are not available on Polycom Trio 8800 system when using PoE:
The Polycom Trio 8800 system LAN OUT port out does not provide PoE+ power and cannot be used to power the Polycom Trio Visual+.
No USB charging is provided to devices (mobile phones, tablets) connected to the Polycom Trio 8800 system USB port.
Maximum peak power to the loudspeaker is limited.
Power the Polycom Trio 8800 System with the Optional Power Injector
If your building is not equipped with PoE+ you can use the optional power injector to provide PoE+ and full functionality to Polycom Trio 8800 system.
Note:Place the PoE injector in a clean and dry area out of a walkway, and provide sufficient space around the unit for good ventilation. Do not cover or block airflow to the PoE injector. Keep the PoE injector away from heat and humidity and free from vibration and dust.
When using the power injector to power the Polycom Trio 8800 system, you must connect cables in the following sequence:
Procedure
Plug the AC power cord of the power injector into the wall and use a network cable to connect the power injector to the Polycom Trio 8800 system.
Connect the power injector to the network with a CAT-5E or CAT-6 Ethernet cable.
The power adapter LED is green when the Polycom Trio 8800 system is correctly powered. If the LED is yellow, the power injector is bypassed and the Polycom Trio 8800 system is drawing PoE power from the outlet.
Tip:
If the Polycom Trio Visual+ loses power after a Polycom Trio 8800 system reboot, unplug both devices and repeat steps 1 and 2.
If the power injector LED is yellow, turn off the PoE network port or connect the Polycom Trio system in the following sequence:
Power up Polycom Trio 8800 and Visual+ using the power injector but do not plug the devices into the network wall port.
Wait for the Polycom Trio 8800 and Visual+ systems to boot up.
Plug the devices into the network wall port.
Ensure the LED indicator on the power injector is green.
Powering the Polycom Trio Visual+ Solution
How you power the Polycom Trio Visual+ can depend on the power options your building is equipped with.
Consider the following setup points:
If you are using PoE+ or the optional power injector, you can power the Polycom Trio Visual+ directly from the Polycom Trio 8800 system using an Ethernet cable. In this scenario, you do not need to pair the Polycom Trio system with the Polycom Trio Visual+.
If you are using PoE, you must power the Polycom Trio Visual+ separately using an Ethernet cable or use the optional power injector. In this scenario, you must pair the Polycom Trio system with the Polycom Trio Visual+.
If you use PoE+, you have the option to power the Polycom Trio 8800 system and Polycom Trio Visual+ separately and then pair. When powering separately, you do not need to connect the Polycom Trio system directly to Polycom Trio Visual+.
