July 27, 2016 by Ying-Hui Chen

Our tech support team at VoIP Supply offers great pre- and post-sales support plus provisioning, consultations, configuration, and installation help. We get a lot of VoIP hardware and software questions and would like to share the solutions with everyone.

In previous Mom’s calling Q&A series, we have discussed: How to Set Pin Number for a Route on a Grandstream System. Today, we have more new real questions and answers from VoIP users just like you.

What is the Max Wattage Consumption for Polycom VVX310 and 410?

Q: Could you please tell me what the max Wattage consumption is for both Polycom VVX310 and VVX410 please? I need to connect approximately 50 phones up via PoE. Do you have a switch recommendations to accommodate this scenario?

A: VVX 310 PoE is either 24 v or 48 v and VVX410 PoE is 48v.

0.25a=12watts x 50 nodes = 600 watts Each port on the switch should be 48 v. I would suggest the Cisco 300 which can support up to 52 ports.

Q: Do you know if all of the ports are PoE and what that max wattage is?

A: Yes, you can get two flavors, PoE (48 port) 2 Combo mini-GBIC or non-PoE (48 port) 2 combo mini-GBIC.

Power consumption with PoE (74 w PoE – Supported = 48 ports). Each switch port of 48v = 12 watts. 12 x 48 PoE = 576w. So 576w would be for only 48 phones. I stand corrected below.

110V = 873.05W = Total

220V = 843.57W = Total (worst case wattage if needed)

How to Set the Screensaver Wait Time on the Polycom VVX400

Having a screensaver on your VoIP phone is just one more way to customize your work space. This can also be a nice thing to have activated if you are away for an extended period of time, as it can disguise any information that may be displayed on your phone’s home screen when you are not at your desk.

Having your screen saver activated can also be a good indicator to coworkers that you have been away from your desk for a while. Maybe you have the day off, you’re in a meeting, on the road, or simply on your lunch break. No matter what the reason is, it seems that more often than not, most people have an active screen saver.
