OK, not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but here goes.

 

I recently got the IP7000 and the MIM, with the intent to connect the IP7000 into a large room audio system.

 

I have the IP7000 working by itself. I can call out and call back to the IP7000.  And I am powering the

IP7000 with the external 48V power adapter, that connects to the IP7000 through the 10-wire cable

that brings both power and 8-pin ethernet to the IP7000. 

 

My question has to do with connecting the IP7000 to the MIM.

 

Question1:  the MIM "quick start guide" show the MIM powering the IP7000 through the 10-pin cable.

with the MIM now being powered by the 48V power adapter plugged into the 120V wall socket.

 

--> is this how this should work,   that is the MIM powers the IP7000 through the 10-pin cable ?

 

--> because when I connected the MIM to the 48V adapter, I do see a green LED on the MIM

      circuit-board turn on,  but I don't see the IP7000 turn on !?  

 

--> again does this sound right ?,   I waited about 20 seconds and the IP7000 did not power up !?

      do I need to wait longer ?

 

Note, if this is not the right place to be asking this question, please direct me to the correct  group/forum

 

  thanks,    -steve

We have a similar issue to the above.

We are using a normal network cable to connect the IP7000 to the MIM.

My question is, does it have to be the 10-pin network cable and if yes, can the 10-pin network cable be crimped.

Hello @Okorosi Peter,

welcome back to the Polycom Community.

The 10 PIN cable is needed between the MIM and the phone

OK, I'm answering my own here here.  I had used the original 10-ping cable that came with the

IP7000, to connect the MIM to the IP7000, and this was not working.  A local support person

contacted me and said that the 10-pin cable that comes with the MIM is  _not_  the same as

10-pin cable that comes with the IP7000.  So once I used the 10-pin cable that came with the

MIM, (to connect the MIM to the IP) it all started working.  Problem solved.

 

Now I should have ohm'd out the two cable,  and I would have seen that the cables are different.

So now I have marked the MIM 10-pin cable with a "MIM" lable, and marked the IP7000 10-pin

cable with a "IP7000" lable, to avoid this problem in the future.

Hello all,

The Documentation included in the MIM should be sufficient to set this up but please see here:

The above is a Polycom proprietary CLINK cable

This cable is a RJ45 type cable but has a 10 PIN RJ style connector.
