Ah ha. Missed that. Knowing Cisco, I doubt they have such and upgrade for any of their phones.

I was leaning in the direction of a Gigabit switch module (designed specifically to work with the phone) that would upgrade an older non GigE phone without having to replace the handset. Jonathan L.

Mitel has a GigE option for their phones without having to replace the phone itself: http://www.mitel.com/DocController?documentId=19404 We've been running converged for 4 years without issue, and I have some imaging apps that are very network intensive, connected through our Mitel phones. Avaya offers an adapter as well: http://www.phonelady.com/700416985n.html I didn't find such on Cisco's site, but I would be surprised if they didn't have such. Jonathan L.

It's amazing how many companies go with the cheaper option at the start only to spend x times the cost to do it right in the future.

The number of lines they will agree to run is constrained because of the desire to go converged. That means when the needs grow (such as backups of each desktop, which is a planned option for the Macintosh systems on the network), there will be "fun". -ASB: http://XeeSM.com/AndrewBaker On Fri, Mar 12, 2010 at 10:35 AM, tony patton < tony.pat...@quinn-insurance.com> wrote: The only problem I have, is unless the phones support gigabit passthru, the desktop will only get 100Mb connection to the network.

Just set up proper QOS and you should be good to go. Unless you?ve got a very good reason not to converge, doing so will make your life easier. Fewer switches and cables to maintain. From: Andrew S. Baker [mailto:asbz...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, March 12, 2010 10:25 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Pros & Cons of Converged Networks (Voice / Data) I am not a huge fan of converged networks, although I will acknowledge the cost savings in many instances. I have a situation where we were planning to keep the data traffic and voice traffic separate, and all of a sudden (11th hour) that changed. *If* you were going to lobby against converging a network for 30-50 people on a floor that is being built out, what justification would you use? -ASB: http://XeeSM.com/AndrewBaker ==================================================================== http://www.quinn-insurance.com This e-mail is intended only for the addressee named above.
