This could apply to other controllers as well, but I am using 3300s. We have many gigabit stands at our main location and they are all connected with a short cable from the back of the GB stand to the network port of the phone. Then the network cable (with POE) to the stand and another cable from the stand to the PC. We got a new patch of stands and when we plug them in the same configuration, the phone starts bouncing, powers on and off continuously.
If I plug the POE network into the stand, the stand into the network port on the phone and the computer to the PC port on the phone, then it works. Did something change? Would plugging it in this way cause a problem?
Do you not use GB stands at all? Even on a XXXXe phone the PC will only connect at 100mbps, so what is the advantage of using the GB stands?
Thanks,
Carlos
