[Asterisk-Users] Quick summary of Grandstream survey results

[Low, Adam]

I'm not sure if it would be really practical to have a built in switch (although useful) within the phones. You really don't want your phone worrying too much about switching other ethernet frames whilst a call is in progress, you will probably then run in to queueing problems as you need to ensure your voice frames get priority.

Even with the Cisco 79xx phones, you get significantly degraded performance on the PC side 100bT interface, most likely due to the lack of switching power. We found in our office enviroment that users soon began complaining of slower network connections and so we ended up reverting back to dedicated switch ports for the phones.

> 100MB-ports     4

The list looks great but I just want to make mention of this one 
specifically -- Putting an El-Crappo 100mbit switch in there isn't going
to 
do any better than what the BudgetTone 102 does now -- if they are going
to 
do this, please please please encourage them to put a QUALITY switch in 
there (one that can sustain 100mbps) -- no use in even trying if it's
going 
to degrade the network connection to the computer and make me install
dual 
wiring anyway...

Thank you for taking the time to post the list and gather up
responses...  
These are decent phones and could go a LONG way with a few adjustments.

Regards,
Andrew
