CISCO CATALYST 2960 24PS-L get power on spare pairs 4-5 / 7-8 for IP (EX)phone

[electrician_livingstone]

We have an EX (explosion proof) IP phone in the LNG room this is connected to the cisco switch. But the switch put POE power on terminals 1-2 and 3-6 and the phone need power from the spare pairs 4-5 and 7-8.  The Cisco catalyst 2960 do not put power on these terminals. We found that there is for some Cisco switches is a command to enable the power on the spare pairs. Is it possible for this switch to enable the power on the spare terminals?  maybe an other command or is this not possible?

Only 3650/3850 and newer switch can support this feature.
Older switch models will not/never have this feature enabled.
The only solution is to replace the 2960 switch with something that will support this command.
