I have customer wtih 30 stations in cubicles but they only

I would prefer the voip to be on separate net connection for

but customer does not want to recable. How to avoid voice quality
problems ?
I have read about devices like Edgemark or Packeteer that
can prioritize voip udp. Is that true ? Do they work ?
Thx in Advance
Well, you have a number of choices:
1.) Buy a phone that has a built-in switch (Cisco, Polycom come to
mind). Unless your LAN is really, really heavily loaded, you
shouldn't run into any problems whatsoever.
2.) I assume that your customer currently has one RJ-11 phone jack in
each cube, in addition to the RJ-45 data jack. In that case, don't
use VOIP phones or ATAs. Use analog phones or even ADSI analog phones
connected to a T1 channel bank, connected in turn to a T1 card in the
asterisk box. No QOS problems, no rewiring.
3.) If you don't want to buy phones that don't have a switch built-
in, buy small netgear 5-port switches and use them instead at each
workstation. One downside of this approach, however, is that the
switch is just one more item for which you have to provide a backup
power source if you want your phones to work when the lights go out.
Those would be my recommendations, in order of preference.
