[asterisk-users] Rusting Snoms?

[Tim Panton]

This is a bit off topic, because I 'think' it isn't an Asterisk problem.
However I'm not sure and anyhow I'm hoping someone may recognize the  
symptom.

We moved offices a month ago. Our trusty SNOM190s (all between 3 and 5  
years old)
were packed up for the move, then unpacked a couple of weeks later.

On unpacking them and connecting them to the new network, several of  
them
didn't work well. The symptom is that outgoing RTP audio is garbled -  
like the
packets are pulsed. Inbound is fine. This isn't true for all of the  
phones,
just some of them. (The all run the same SNOM firmware)

To be fair, they are on a new network, so it could be the cables or
new 1Gb switches, except that the problem moves with the phone
if you relocate it from one desk to another.

I've tried a fresh asterisk install, but that didn't help either.

So I am forced to conclude that something went 'bad' in those
(old) phones while they were switched off. Has anyone got any clues
for me?

Thanks!

Tim.
