For best results, use a router and switch that both support Quality of Service (QoS). QoS allows top
priority to be assigned to voice traffic. Otherwise, the quality of the voice connection may suffer when

Note
The SPA9000, the SPA400, and the SPA900 Series IP phones should all be within the same LAN.
Separating the devices through VPN encryption, firewalls, routers, or other devices that affect multicast
traffic may prevent proper functioning of the IP PBX system.
