[Asterisk-biz] Talking of PoE ...

[Mark Phillips]

If your POE switch is a 802.xx (I forget the exact number) compliant 
device then it will send power down pins 7 and 8. This should be ignored 
by any non powered devices as they are only interested in pins 1,2,3 and 6.

I believe that the spec for the 802.xx switch is to kill the power after 
n seconds if no load is sensed thus preventing damage to the connected 
device.
