Hi Josh, 

We are still with the problem of freezing phones, we tried installing a version 
of similar in sipxecs everything that we have in production, the only 
difference was that we use a switch without PoE and every phone we put your AC 
adapter, but still be freezing. We have BootROM 3.1.3C and Firmware 4.1.0 with 
a SIPxecs 4.0.2. 

Appreciate any help with this problem. 

Thanks,
