[asterisk-users] Rusting Snoms?

[Christian Stredicke]

With cheap PoE devices Ethernet can easily get "on the edge" - or over the edge. If you have another switch/different model, a quick try will help isolating the problem.

On further investigation - it may well be that the switch doesn't like  
the phones (or vice-versa)
I tried daisy-chaining one phone off the second port of the other and  
got distinctly better audio.

It's a new netgear fvs 318 with autosensing 100/10 ports.

Any clues ?

Thanks.
Tim
