 command by entering lanpower capacitor-detec-
tion followed by the slot number of the OmniSwitch 6850 Series and disable.

not compatible with IEEE specification 802.3af. Please contact your Alcatel-Lucent sales engineer or 
Customer Support representative to find out which Alcatel-Lucent IP phones models need capacitive
