IP Office Technical Tip (Region: Global)

082: IP412 Fast Ethernet Ports are Half Duplex

3rd August 2005 - Full PDF Text Version

 

The Fast Ethernet ports on the IP Office are set to half duplex. Avaya mandates that when the IP Office 412 is plugged into a Fast Ethernet switch, the installer should verify that the switch has negotiated to half duplex. It is the responsibility of the Installer to know how to check for half duplex negotiation on the switch.

Failure to have the switch port negotiate to half duplex can cause poor voice quality in the IP Office VoIP network.
