According to Aastra tech support, 5 watts (peak) per 480i.
We are testing five phones running on a Linksys SRW208P that will only 
support full 15W on up to 4 of 8 ports. I can power up the switch while 
all phones are connected without any issues.
I would expect your lower power switch will provide ample power.
