asterisk users - Sep 2006 - Budgetones - multiple phones losing IP address during day

Hi All

I have a site with 50 Budgetone 102's and about 5 snom phones.

At random intervals during the day about 20 or 30 of the Budgetones lose 
their connection to the network all at the same time.  It happens about 
once a day.  The Snom phones are fine and never get disconnected.  I 
can't ping the Budgetones IP's and the way to fix them is to simply 
unplug and reconnect.  Nothing interesting shows up in the logs even in 
debug mode except for the 'Peer XXX is now unreachable' repeated for 
each extension.

I haven't had much experience with the Budgetones.  Does anyone have any 
idea what could be causing this?

Thanks
Garth

Garth,

Are they all on the same switch? Possibly could be a network-level issue,
and not something wrong with the phones.

Garth,

This may be a silly question, but are you running the latest firmware  
on the phones from Grandstream? If not, try upgrading one phone to  
see if it helps solve the problem.
