BCM 400 ip phone 2004 1Gbps network

[rsgtexas]

I am trying to find out if I can do anything with firmware to allow my 1Gbps network to "pass" thru my ip phone 2004 to the computers...is this a firmware or hardware restriction...

I have a 1 Gbps POE switch...but after the IP phone 2004 the network speed is only 100Mbps...

can I update my firmware on the phones??? or the BCM 400
to correct this???

Thanks in advance for any info

You need 1120E/1140E for GigE passthru. The 2004 only has 10/100 and that is a hardware restriction - no firmware change will help.
