Cisco IP phones 7940 and 7960 models not Powering on Meraki switch MS355-48X

Hello Team,

 

any one who has faced the below issue.

  1. IP phones currently  (Cisco 7940 and 7960) cannot receive POE if connected to the meraki devices MS355-48X
  2. Only two models 7970 and 7911 are able to receive power 

 

The 7940 and 7960 IP phones can power when connected to Catalyst PoE switch.

Kind of a big deal

Cisco 7940 and 7960 phones don't support the PoE standard. They use a Cisco proprietary inline power technology will only work that way with Cisco Catalyst switches.
