I dont understand how the POE works. How do I get the phone up and running?

1. Connect the 25-foot Network Cable to the network port on the phone. 2. Connect the other end of the 25-foot Network Cable to thePower Insertion Cable. 3. Connect the Power Insertion Cable to an available LAN port on the wall or hub/switch device port. 4. Connect the Power Adapter to the Power Insertion Cable. 5. Connect the other end of the power Adapter (with the attached Regional Power Cord) to the wall outlet.

I was under the impression that PoE would only work out to about 99' from the power source... is that not accurate? My understanding was if you need a run longer than 99', you needed to use an PoE injector closer to the device. Am I off base here?

You will need a outlet to power it if using wifi. I think you can use POE on cat5, but not sure. I have it mounted high on the garage so I just drilled a hole through the siding and plugged it in.

Not sure how all this works? Can someone please tell me what I need to install this and what does it do? If i understand correctly, I have to already have internet set up in my home, then with this device, i can get wifi for up to serveral devices? so its like a wifi hotspot?

You will need an injector for the Ubiquiti WAP. It isn't important where you hook it up. I use five of these in my network and place the injector close to the power source of three of them near the system the WAP is serving. One has a 25' distance from injector to WAP while the rest are 8' or less. The Poe provides the power needed over CAT5 cables. Since not all the wires are used in most WiFi networks the idle wires are used to power a Ubiquiti WAP.

Mine did not. I thought that I was shipped a phone that was once returned (less the power supply). Let me know where we can get one if you work it out. Right now, I am using POE (Power Over Ethernet)

This uses EnGenius proprietary POE. It comes with the necessary power injector to make this happen though.

Their are many direct access numbers that take you to the sub menu choices. They all start with #. Look in the manual for details.Can you explain how the phone will work in a power outage? Does it draw power from the phone line? Also, what will happen to the stored greeting & messages if power goes out? I don't want to test it as setup took a while & don't want to rerecord message.Thanks

It must be powered from the POE and connected to the router via cat5/6. It sounds like you may be looking for a range extender, but the throughputon those will be much lower due to their nature (having to receive/transmit radio signals simultaneously).

The end user device only pulls the POE power if it needs it. Otherwise the device will just pass data. Best not to do this as you use up an available POE port you don't have to, but we haven't seen any device damage.

Yes. These phones are typically powered by a PoE switch, so no power supply is necessary. If you don't have a PoE switch to supply power over the ethernet cable, you will need to purchase a power supply to power the phone.

This phone in Power Over Ethernet (PoE) or there is an optional AC adapter (34-1537-01).NEW AC/DC Adapter For CISCO P/N 34-1977-03 MODEL ADP-18PB V85 DELTA Power Supply

There is a new model that DOES supports POE (in fact, it drops the normal power supply connector, so you MUST use POE) - just got one off Aliexpress and it works as expected.

Nope. You'll need to purchase a separate POE injector. Make sure the injector is gigabit ready and is at least 802.3af (15.4w) compliant.

The "cell tower" connectivity is back hauled over your internet connection. There is an Ethernet connection on the back of the unit that you use to connect to your router. The GPS thing is required for it to work. I'm not sure exactly they require it, but I'm guessing it has to do with their service areas or something. Calls and texts work pretty well, but you are going to have to get the little good receiver near a window. It has a fairly long cable, maybe 12-15 or something like that.

POE is not a support but rather a wiring scheme. That said it does not list a power rating on the unit. BE mindful of the wiring as you can fry your stuff.

Hi Arbeln,This is the greeting from Loftek Customer Service. I am so sorry to tell you that the Loftek Nexus 543 don't support POE. Thanks
