Hello,
I have a Hex S and tried to connect a IP telephon on Ethernet5 Port. But the phone doesn’t start with the POE connected.
Is there any trick to make it happen?
IP Phone: Snom 785

Unfortunately there are too many flavors of PoE out there. IP phones typically want the “real” one (802.1af or 802.1at), which provides 48 V DC (nominal) and does some checks before actually applying that power, whereas lower end Mikrotik (and other vendors’) devices provide so-called “passive PoE” which provides something between 10 and 30 V DC (and also does some checks in Mikrotik case). So depending on your use case, you may need a “real PoE” injector, or a power adaptor for the phone, or hEX PoE (not lite) with a separately obtained 48 V DC adaptor as the bundled one is a 24 V one, or some dumb switch providing “real PoE”.
With hEX S in particular, using a 48 V power supply and forced PoE out (no checks) might do the trick.
