AP 1252 and Powerdsine midspan

[pbuch]

Hi

I have a project with AP 1252 using existing 3750 switches. As the 1252 demands more than 15,4W i am trying to user Powerdsine 7000 midspans.

The midspan is able to give up to 32W/port. I have a test setup with a couple of 1252 and a 2206 controller.

The 1252's powers up but with Poe status medium, and using only 15,4W.

How do i get them to use full power ?

That's the problem guys. There is no true .at standard yet. There is a debate between the Cisco method of signaling and another vendors. The debate is not settled. Once ratified Cisco will jump on board as always. Of course, you know they'd like to do it Burger King style (Have it their way!)

I want to say how useful this thread has been.

A bit off topic, but Cisco is releasing the Catalyst 2975, a new stackable L2+ 48-port PoE-enabled 10/100/1000 switch at a good price point ($23k list for a pair, according to the pricelist). Does anyone know whether or not this switch will support ePoE?

I havent been able to find anything about a Catalyst 2970. Would be nice to have an other choice than 2*3750E

The Catalyst 2975 does not support ePoE for the 1250 APs. But it does support the new 1140 802.11n APs which are 802.3af compliant.

To bad that the 2975 dosent support ePoE.

Really need a cheaper alternative to a stack 3750E.

I cant find anything about 1140, any link ?

There's a pre-launch partner data sheet at:

At only 12.95 watts of power, the 1140 Series is the only platform to combine the power of dual-radio 802.11n with the efficiency of standard PoE. Additionally, the 1140 Series is designed to operate more efficiently during off-peak hours when fewer clients are connected to the access point.
