I did not try a power injector, however, connecting to a Cisco Catalyst 3560 works fine. Also, a newer 8845 phone does negotiate power and powers up when connected to the Z3. As PhilipDAth mentioned, this most likely due to the Z3 not supporting the pre-standard Cisco proprietary PoE that is on the 7940. Thanks for the response.

We are testing the Z3 as a small branch office setup. In testing IP Phone connectivity, when a Cisco IP Phone 7940 is connected to switch port #5, the phone does not receive power. However, if a Cisco 8845 is connected, it does power up. Has anyone run into this situation or knows of a solution, please let me know. I have not connected locally to the appliance and poked around yet. Perhaps, the PoE version on the 7940 is not compatible with the version on the Z3.
