[asterisk-users] 2 way intercom recommendationforrestaurantkitchens

Polycom 501s were designed before the PoE standards were set in stone.  So
the PoE is actually not part of the phone, but part of the special PoE cable
that is optional. So you absolutely need that special RJ45-like cable.

Is there a Polycom 501 that is POE and one that isn't?  Or all they all POE?
