[cisco-voip] Change Speed/Duplex Settings on IP Phone

[STEVEN CASPER]

Oh... it is a long and ugly story. We made the decision a while back to set the speed and duplex settings to 100/Full from the phone to our desktop PCs. We are deploying a lot of laptops these days that work best set for auto/auto. We would like to standardize using auto/auto for all of our machines. Our PC people can push a change to reconfigure the PC NICs remotely so we are hoping to do the same with the phone settings.

Numerous previous discussions on this topic.

while technically it is possible to send the instructions to the phone over the netowrk to navigate the menus and UI to change speed/duplex the question is why you would want to.  If anything goes wrong the device will be stuck at speed/duplex mismatch.  Mismatch will seriously hinder network communications to the phone so you will not be able to remotely manage, monitor, or undo the changes.

second question is what are you connecting that does not properly auto-negotiate?

 Is there any way to change the speed/duplex settings on 79xx phones remotely via some kind of a XML/AXL/HTTP push? I have no idea what I am talking about here but have been asked to explore the possibility. I know you could use a product such as Clarus to hit each phone on an individual basis but we would be looking to change the settings of a lot of phones scattered across the northeast and that method would take forever and we also do not want to go have to go each location and change each phone manually. Any ideas?
