I've taken a director's position in a school district that installed an ESI phone system just over a year ago. My predecessor had to coordinate an effort with HP on our procurve equipment configurations and that of the phone system. I think the attempt was made to setup a dedicated VLAN (vlan 3) for voice. The ESI programming reflects that, but we have phones getting ip addresses from our DHCP server intendent for the data network. We're running our computers data connection through our phones. We have phones that will stutter or echo during a call. Some callers can't hear the person on the other end or visa-versa. The original installer is telling me I should just run the phones on the same network with my data, but the UDP traffic brings our wireless nework to a halt.

I'd appreciate any thoughts or suggestions on this problem.

Thanks
