Hi all, For a top quality setup, I will need to install high quality VoIP switches with QoS and PoE. My potential customer should not have any problem with call quality. Experienced folks, Please advice me what switches to install and at what price. I may need it for upto 100 phones. What else should I consider so that phones work without problem along with the computers on the same network?

Any recommendations on an economical layer 3 switch? Preferably something that you have hands on experience with connecting to IP phones with attached PCs? Specifically I need the ability to set the VLAN in the phone to tag voice packets and to set a native VLAN on a per port basis on the switch to put the untagged packets from the attached PC into a separate VLAN. POE is not a requirement

Greetings list, Thanks to all who replied to my thread a few days ago "SIP devices with packet loss tolerance". One of the suggestions that came out of that thread was to replace routers at users' premises with ones that support QoS. I've used m0n0wall's QoS in the past with reasonable success, but it's quite a bulky and complex setup for deploying to remote sites which

Hi, I'm looking for a good network device that does bandwidth management. It can be integrated in a router or stand-alone, but must be SIP-friendly. I`ve tried the DIR-655 (latest firmware is SIP-hostile, and the latest hardware revisions can't downgrade to the version that worked well) and the DI-724GU (SIP-friendly, but bandwidth management is automated and not configurable

Hi, We're installing an * box next week (pbxtra from fonality) and I'm trying to come up with a solution for remote users that want a phone in their home. I need VPN and QoS capability, wireless support would be a nice to have. Ethernet handoff is fine, i don't need integrated dsl or cable modem... I've been googling and cruising the list and can find bits and pieces

Hi all, I'm looking for recommendations on ethernet switches for a new install. Ideally would want switches with at least 24 ports, ideally with a GE uplink, and that support PoE (power over ethernet) on every port. I've seen lots of switches, and lots of "power hubs", but the combination, which makes a lot of sense, seems rare. What is out there? Do the switches need to be

Hi everybody, What is a proper setup for a medium size business with about 20 IP phones and 20 computers. Right now they are using a regular Linksys router which we use at homes. Their switch is also a very standard switch. Now they need to put there something better and VoIP compatible. What people use out there in serious and professional VoIP installations for medium size businesses? Is there

My router (1605R) currently does not support QoS. Is there any open source software available so that I can set one up before the router? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I'm trying to spec out hardware for a new office, and I'd like to include power over Ethernet as an option. I've seen a handful of PoE injectors around $1000 for 24 ports and a couple switches up around $2500 for 24 ports. Are there any cheaper options, short of buying a boatload of 1-port injectors off of ebay? I don't really need more then 24 ports of PoE out of 48 total

Hi list, I am in the process of setting up Asterisk for a new office and since this is going to be my first "real" installation I'd appreciate some advice on the hardware from the real world. We will have 8 channels (still not sure if 4xISDN2 or ISDN30 8 channels, but I will definitely go for a Digium card with echo hw cancelation) and a DSL 2mbit line (QoS on the switch and

Can anyone comment on the DSCP quality of service settings on your Asterisk server? The network we're setting up has data on the default VLAN, Asterisk server and phones on VLAN 4, and we're using Polycom phones with a PC hooked up to the phone's pass-thru port. What iptables settings are you using on the Asterisk server for DSCP? What are your Polycom DSCP settings? We're using

Hi all, We have put together a firmware for a range of inexpensive routers. It has been configured to provide optimum VoIP performance. We have internally tested it for number of months and it looks very good. You should be able to run it easily with 20+ phones on local network ( we still did not hit the upper limit ) assuming that you have bandwidth. Your VoIP will get prioritized over other

Hello, I'm searching for a router for our company. Does anybody has a suggestion for a router with a SIP Application Layer Gateway and good working QoS (Upstream AND Downstream). Regards Bastian

Hey, all. We're rolling out VoIP, and I'm wondering about PoE recommendations, as we're going to have to replace our current network equipment. My first inclination would be to just plunk down the cash and do a Cisco system, but I'm relatively certain that would get shot down by finance. Any recommendations for a couple-hundred-port solution with VLANs, PoE, and QoS? Don't

Does anyone have a recommendation for a 48 port LAN switch for a new * system? I'm not happy with NetGear's reliability. -- Michael Welter Introspect Telephony Corp. Denver, Colorado +1 303 674 2575 mike@introspect.com www.introspect.com

Greetings, I mailed the list regarding an intercom system some months ago and we came to the conclusion that I should purchase a Polycom 501 phone. I'm now considering the purchase for this year, and I'm now wondering between the Polycom 501 and the 320 for the intercom. I don't need the spare ethernet on the phone because I would like to have my voice network separate from my

Hi, Are there any resellers of phones that can take power over ethernet in Australia? All I can find for sale online is the BT-10[12], which is cheap but not featureful enough, and the Snom 190, which is about right, but neither of them support PoE. I'm particularly intereseted in the Snom 220 with the keypad expansion for our receptionist. Although, could you make a PoE split-out cable

Hello all, We've discovered that VoIP (IAX2) + Citrix + Video is pegging the measly CPU on the Netopia router our ISP provided. We've got 3Mb/3Mb and will increase to 4/4 next year. The Netopia simply breaks out our WAN IPs, and we've got a switch hooked up to it on the inside (Actually I've got a QoS box in-between). ------------- | Internet | | on Cat5 | -------------

Hello All, I apologize for the slightly off-topic question, but I'm sure that the people best acquainted with the issue would be hanging around here. We recently deployed several Linksys POE switches for some smaller customers (10-24 station) and appear to be suffering from intermittent lock-ups of the SNOM phones attached. Obviously we are running Asterisk for the gateway, but I was

3com have some goods POE kit and some very nice managed wall jacks that supply POE and are fully managed. Here's an auction that the seller just closed:- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=40990&item=5708757277&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW Last time I spoke to him he had 5 boxes of 20 units and was willing to sell them at around $575 with a bit of arm twisting.
