Re: SBS With VOIP Phones

Nigel,

VoIP is straight forward TCP/IP traffic and will work with any switch. What
Holz probably is referring to is some QoS or VLAN configuration that is
needed if you have heavy traffic on that LAN segment and you run into voice
quality issues. For a few phones it doesn't really matter but if you are
planning to introduce a lot of them, I would look into this. We always
separate the phones on their own LAN and if we need a cross-connect to the
computer LAN (accessing phone server, email integration etc.) we bridge with
a little router.

In your case I would agree with KJ as to your most likely cause why it
doesn't get an IP. Is this phone SIP or H323 based?

Interesting question - but the manual makes no mention of this, it simply
says if you have a spare connection on your switch, plug the network cable
into it.

From what I understand (never worked with Voip), your switch must be Voip
capable. Is your switch VOIP capable?
