Wireless LAN Access Points with the Foundry Networks

FastIron Edge 2402-POE Inline Power Ethernet Switch -

Issue 1.0

Abstract

These Application Notes describe how to connect and configure Avaya 4600 Series IP

Telephones and Avaya wireless LAN access points with the Foundry Networks FastIron Edge

2402-POE inline power Ethernet switch. The various Avaya powering arrangements and the

administration commands for displaying and controlling the powering status of the switch

ports are described. All inline power configurations as described in these Application Notes

tested successfully. Information in these notes has been obtained through compliance testing

and additional technical discussions. Testing was conducted via the DeveloperConnection

Program at the Avaya Solution and Interoperability Test Lab.

1. Introduction

“Inline power” is a feature offered on Ethernet switches. It is a means by which the switch can

supply power to a network device within the same CAT-5 cable that carries the Ethernet

signaling. This simplifies network installation and powering design, removing the need for a

separate power supply for each IP telephone in the network. IEEE 802.3af-2003 defines a

standard protocol to be used by powering and powered devices. Avaya 4600 Series IP

telephones, Avaya wireless LAN access point products, and the Foundry Networks FastIron

Edge 2402-POE switch comply with this standard. These Application Notes show how Avaya

IP telephones and wireless LAN access points can be connected to the 2402-POE switch.

Command line interface (CLI) commands that display and control powering status of the switch

ports are also demonstrated.

The Avaya product configurations addressed by these Application Notes are shown in Figure 1.

The following Avaya products are directly connected to the switch:

• 4602 and 4602SW IP Telephones

• 4610SW IP Telephone

• 4620 and 4620SW IP Telephone (including the EU24 Button Expansion Module)

• 4630SW IP Screenphone

• Gen-2 4606, 4612 and 4624 IP Telephones

• AP 3 and AP 5 Access Points

The Gen-1 Avaya 4612 and 4624 IP Telephones require the Avaya 30A Switch Base. Figure 2

shows the connections for the 30A switch base. The 4612 and 4624 telephones can be identified

as Gen-1 or Gen-2 by inspecting the model number. “1A” in the model number indicates Gen-1;

“2A” indicates Gen-2. The model number can be found by:

• Inspecting the label attached to the bottom of the telephone.

OR

• Pressing Mute, V, I, E, W, # on the keypad and then pressing * until the model number

appears. Press # to exit.

Examples of model numbers are “4612D01A-003” (Gen-1) and 4612D02A-003 (Gen-2).

The powering tests included verification of the following after the product was connected to the

switch:

• Successful boot operation

• For IP telephones, successful registration with an Avaya Media Server/Gateway and

completion of a test call

3. Foundry Inline Power Commands

This section describes the commands that can be issued to monitor and control inline power

status of the switch ports. The commands are listed below, with a brief description of their

application. Examples of their use can be found in Section 4.

The CLI commands applicable to inline powering of ports are:

• inline power must be used on a port to enable inline powering. The device will receive

power automatically when it is plugged into the switch port and presents the “maintain

power signature.”

• no inline power removes power from and disables automatic powering of the connected

device. Note that disabling a port that has inline power activated has the same effect.

• show inline power displays the powering status of all ports and the total power allocated

by the switch, based on the power class reported by each telephone. Table 1 shows the

required power allocations defined by IEEE 802.3af-2003, based on the class.

respectively. Based on their reported power class, the switch has allocated a total of

4+7+15.4=26.4 watts.

• For IP telephones, verify that they can successfully register with an Avaya Media

Server/Gateway and test calls can be completed.

• For wireless access points, verify that the access point can be pinged through the Ethernet

port, and use a browser to access the administration web interface on the access point.
