  Devon RitterSep 12, 2025
  If the BDU has power but the accessories are not working: * Remove power from the accessories and disconnect them from the BDU. Restart the BDU using the power button or by removing power for 10 seconds. After the BDU reboots, re-attach the accessories. * If a POE accessory is not receiving power, ensure POE is enabled for that port. * Note that POE is not available on the WAN port; devices on the WAN port need their own power source. * For VoIP phones, refer to their manuals for proper configuration, as each phone may have a different configuration method.
