Conference Phone power

The Cisco Unified IP Conference Phone 8831 can be powered with external power or with Power over Ethernet
(PoE). External power is provided through a separate power supply. PoE is provided by a switch through the
Ethernet cable attached to a conference phone.
Note When you install a phone that is powered with external power, connect the power supply to the phone
and to a power outlet before you connect the Ethernet cable to the phone. When you remove a phone that
is powered with external power, disconnect the Ethernet cable from the phone before you disconnect the
power supply.
