Thanks Phil
Before I read this, we have plugged the phone into a switch that does deliver power and it lit up OK. However most of our switches don't supply power, so I am pulling a power supply out of the garage soon.
However I have now been told that we don't have VOIP to the place I want to use the phone. It was suggested to me that the phones there are analogue. But, says I, the phones there are plugged into network ports! So now I am being told there is something between analog and VOIP - "digital phones". Huh?
Watch this space while some work is done this afternoon.
