I have a number of 881 Routers and 79x0 IP Phones. These phones use "Cisco Inline Power", aka "pre-standard PoE". In other words, they are not compatible with standard 802.3af PoE.
It would be possible for me to install a daughtercard and DC adapter in the 881 routers and provide PoE to two of the ethernet ports. My question is whether the 881 (when equipped for PoE) will support Cisco Inline Power, or if it will only support 802.3af.
For reference, the 200 and 300 series Small Business switches support these phones with a software upgrade. See this link: https://supportforums.cisco.com/document/71841/200-and-300-switches-now-supports-cisco-pre-standard-poe-legacy-poe
Many thanks,
Tom
