Cisco 7940 Not powring up with poe

[BenjaminMcCoy53186]

Dear Everyone who reads this,

    A company was going out of business and said all the ip phones inside were to go to another home or company, i went in and garbed two a 7940 and 7960, When i got home and pluged them into my netgear poe switch nothing happened, I have another 7965 series and when i plug that one in it turns on and works, Sadly, i do not have a provider because i thought the two other phones I garbed did not need a provider, What do i do

                                 It looks like the 7940 can only do Cisco-POE

Q. What IP phone models support the Cisco pre-standard method of powered device detection?

A. These Cisco IP phones can accept Cisco pre-standard PoE from a card integrated with a Cisco Catalyst switch or a Catalyst in-line power patch panel:

• 7985G

• 7960G
