To all,
Ok guys, kind of think I might want to play with a little VoIP.
Basics I or anyone who was looking at learning VoIP, not counting routers I already have
I am thinking the basic setup is -
Router: a 1760 router with CME 4.1 (is that the latest) on it. I have seen some labs on Ebay include a Cisco MC3810 Router also with a 1760, why?
I have also seen CME on everything from 26xxXM routers to 3725 routers but I see that the 1760 is considered a "voice" router - any comments why or why not?
Switch: a 3524-PWR-XL-EN to power the phones (or power units for the phones) I like the switch route for several reasons, would the 3524 be my best "bang for the buck"?
Phones: at least 2 Cisco IP phones like 7940 or 7910, anything I should watchout for? I have seen some sites say the phones have been "registered" with the router already?
Like I said, this is both for me and for a few who have asked about getting the CCNA voice!
I can better understand things when someone says, you connect the 1760 to the 3524, you plug in the phones to the 3524 and away you go (config of course) ...... now if you want to take that lab and connect to the outside world you would need this WIC or you would do this next????
I had looked at some LINUXX Astrict boxes before and had a fair understanding of connecting to POTS or a VoIP provider.... lets talk CISCO
