@jmoore true. In many applications, I find that regular pro audio gear is a far simpler and less expensive solution than full on contractor/install type gear (like Bogen, etc). But it totally depends on the specific needs.

For the record - I work with restaurants . Not fucking phones. I know nothing about PBX, Phone systems, Nothing of that sort. My job is to keep Restaurants up, working and making money. - That's it.
The Office has one person ( Service Manager) who takes care of the equipment. (This comes from the owner - too many cooks in the kitchen type bull shit)@DustinB3403 @scottalanmiller : I was told::: It was either The old server that we just changed - gave the PC a IP address, and that PC was the powered off since the switch, with it coming on it created The IP Conflict, restarting the phones and computer in question resolved the issue, and haven't had an issue with the phones. ( this is what i Was told when I asked.) *Kind of makes sense, but wouldn't DHCP be flushed at shut down?
or
The something held on to the IP from DHCP and caused the issue- WE got it back up and going though, so he isnt looking into it.Regardless that was the only thing that was changed and how it was presented to me when I asked.

DHCP isn't flushed ever (really) but you can have DHCP leases expire and get renewed. The life of a DHCP lease is what could cause a client to get an IP address, go offline and have another statically assigned device come online and use the same address.
IP conflicts are generally because 1 device has a reservation, while another device is statically assigned and both are on the same network at the same time.

Thanks Dustin. -
Creating a fresh Win 10 VM for Hyper-V training/documentation and listening to Sleep. Also hoping Sleep's guitarist doesn't lose another toe to the diabeetus, he just canceled his other band's tour that kicked off here on Thursday.

Trying to find the value of some stamps (well a selection of about 4000)
Just to see if I can find one that's worth £1000000000

It's old VM killin' time!

Trying to select a switch for the Stores.
Find one then change my mind, look for something else and think "do I really need this advanced"??Requirements are:-
Web Managed
24port
Non-PoE and PoE Version
Layer 3 lite/Layer2+ is a bonus (so I can do some simple routing)Keep going from
Ubiquiti 24 Lite (£160 ish)
HP Office Connect 1920 (£120 ish)
Netgear GS724Tv4 (£106 ish)Then PoE version
Ubiquiti 24 (£390)
HP Office Connect 1920 PoE (£253)
Netgear GS724TPv2 PoE (£205)But then Netgear have the prosafe range
guess I just need to pick one and stick to it

And these things have been powered off 9 months

@hobbit666 You want something in this line up.
-
@EddieJennings but wait I needed to use it yesterday and never got to ask you why I couldn't get to it.
-
@DustinB3403 but they cost £320+ why them over the Netgear Prosafe or GS724 range? or the HP ones
what makes the Ubiquiti ones £100 more worth it -

what makes the Ubiquiti ones £100 more worth itBecause Netgear is a joke and HP's aren't much better than the Netgear equipment. I can't help you with the cost, it is the better option.

@DustinB3403 actually Netgear makes some seriously good stuff. Its our main go to for switching. A big networking lab in NYC has to use it because it outperforms nearly everything.

I've been very happy with the HP switches I've had here for the past 10 years. I replaced them with UBNT mostly because they were cheaper than the HPs I was looking at at the time.

I'm another one in the not afraid to use HP camp. I do want to try out a UBNT switch though.

Ubiquiti is not just web managed, but can be connected to UNMS. That's a huge deal. And it is free.
Netgear has a line that can do the same thing, but you pay a small fee to do it.
In both cases, this is probably something that you really want and will be sorry if you don't get it.

I would never buy something today that does not report back to a controller.
