[Asterisk-Users] Power Over Ethernet for *any* ethernet switch (or hub); product idea

and probably you're going to fry something on your lan.
POE isn't simple power on the right pins, but is
a sort of "protocol". Really, on POE enabled devices
(or injectors) you won't measure the DC with a tester,
simply because POE on port X is enabled after a request
by the device on that port. this is for mantaining compatibity
with non POE devices.
so you will need also something that detects the power request
on each port and enables it.
