INTRODUCTION
The Mitel StreamLine family are Power over Ethernet L2 switches. Unlike traditional L2 Ethernet
switches which are limited in operation to distances of 100 m (328ft); the Mitel StreamLine
switches can operate over distances of up to 365 m (1,200ft) over a single pair of CAT-31cable.
A StreamLine Dongle is installed at each IP endpoint, the dongle bridges the signaling and power
delivered from the StreamLine switch over the single pair of CAT-3 cable to the connected IEEE
802.3af compliant end device.
There are three different switches available within the Mitel StreamLine family:
8-Port switch
24-Port switch
48-Port switch
The default Mitel StreamLine configuration supports IP phones and provides a plug and play
solution for replacing a legacy voice network using the existing network cabling plan. Up to 48 IP
phones can be powered from a single Mitel StreamLine switch. The following diagram shows a
typical configuration using a StreamLine 24-port switch and a StreamLine 48-port switch.

1StreamLine is supported on CAT-3 or better, and CW1308 cabling of up to 365 m (1,200ft). For more
technical details, please consult the StreamLine Site Survey document available at
