Not only does it provide power during a power failure, but it balances the power during power fluxuations. When you see the lights dim at your office, you can almost be assured that the same event is happening on your telephone system. Just like static electricity damages electronics components, these changes in your power line can do the same thing. Power will rob the longevity of your components, while you are unaware of the damaging happening. Forget about the large power spikes, you see those, you know when they happen. But, the small browns and small spikes that happen all day long without us noticing are destroying the reliability of your equipment. I highly recomment that all Sutus installations include a UPS, not a surge suppressor, to ensure you get the years of service for your important investment.

You just need an adapter for the 300/301 and the 500/501. The rule is, if you plug the power brick into the back of the phone, it'll support PoE natively. If you have to plug the power brick into the cable itself (if you've used n 30x or 50x, you'll know what I mean), then you'll need an adapter. Mike All SoundPoint IPs will support PoE.
