Configuring Inline Power on 6509's

[larsent]

I received this request. How do I increase to 380ma?

Cisco's web site said they draw 350ma of current, but can go up to a maximum of 380ma in some cases. Would you set these to provide the maximum recommended power of 380ma (16 watts)?

Thanks in advance for the assistance.

From what you have described, it sounds like you are trying to hook up an IP phone to the inline power. Take a look through the following links, the first link shows how to configure the inline power and the second one talks about how the switch will figure out the power consumption from the device, so it does not damage any other devices.
