I'm trying to set up an old few handsets that I have picked up, and apparently they're supposed to power on with just a regular PoE ethernet, but when I plug it into my PoE switch, this does not happen.

I have a RJ11 connection going into my phone, and on the other side is an RJ45 connection, which is what I am plugging in to my PoE switch.

Is there a way to check if the phones are not completely dead?

Also, do I have to use the Forum 500 series PBX that it was originally delivered with? Or can I set it up with, for example, freepbx?

Forum Phone 525 or Phone 535 = RJ11 to RJ45 (are not IP Phones but system-telefons).

Forum IPhone525 or IPhone 535 = RJ45 to RJ45 are IP Phones.

So, how do I power it, then?

And what about freepbx? Will that work? Or something else?

Forum Phone 525 or Phone 535 = RJ11 to RJ45 (system telefon) works only with Proximus Forum PBX.
The same for Forum IPhone525 or IPhone 535 you need the Proximus Forum (IP)PBX.

So, I need to acquire a forum PBX, then!

Damn it.

De Forum Phone 525/535 are of a older generation PBX to .. i think the pbx is only for sale on second-hand and no support from Proximus

The forum 500, still gets support for a few more years but they are end of life for installations in about 5 years support should start to stop
