Could someone tell me if the Nortel IP Phones (i.e. 2001, 2004, 2005) are
designed to work with the Cisco proprietary PoE (Power over Ethernet)? It
seems to work but we are having many other problems so wanted to confirm the
intent.

Thank you in advance.

Yes it works, you may need a power spliter, if you are using older IP phone

hardware (Phase 1)

I am using Nortel phones (i2004, i2007) with the following POE switches and
midspans with no problems:
- Cisco (3750)
- Netgear (FS108P)
- Alcatel (7800 with 10/100 POE Blade, and 6600P)
- 3COM (NJ200)
- Power Dsine (4024 midspan, and 6024 midspan)
(A few other switches and midspans I forget the brand and model of right now.)

The older Nortel sets will require a POE splitter donglee in between the POE
source and the phone. The barrel power supply plug that comes off of the dongle
connects to the power supply barrel jack of the phone.

The newer Nortel IP phones that are standards compliant operate without the need
for the splitter and boot right up. Even the i2007 has no problems here.

In all cases I have left the speed selection and duplex in all phones at Auto.
Most phones are set at partial DHCP.
No VLAN setting was used in the phone.
The default port (4100) was used.

The phones themselves have to communicate through a set of other LAN switches
and routers before hitting the PBX. (Cisco, Alcatel, 3COM, Nortel) but no
problems there either.
