3Com Phone Systems and Daylight Savings Time in 2007
 

This is very important information in regards to your 3Com Phone System. 3Com phone systems do NOT support the new changes to Daylight Savings Time! You will have to manually change your phone system Time forward and also backwards or purchase the R6.0 upgrade that will automatically adjust the time for you (see below for 25% off limited time special). You will also need to uncheck the box that states "Observe Daylight Savings Time"!

For the U.S. and its territories, Daylight Saving Time is NOT observed in Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Arizona.

Beginning in year 2007, most of the U.S. will begin Daylight Saving Time at 2:00 a.m. on the second Sunday in March and revert to standard time on the first Sunday in November. In the U.S., each time zone switches at a different time.

PoE and NBX: What's the Deal with PoE?
by Matt Ferro
 
Power over Ethernet (PoE) refers to the ability to carry electrical power over a standard Ethernet cable - the same one used today for transferring data. PoE allows IP telephones, WLAN access points and webcams to receive power as well as data over existing LAN cabling, without any requirement to modify the Ethernet infrastructure. Ever since the ratification of the IEEE802.3af standard in June 2003, growth in PoE devices and installations has been increasing steadily. The primary benefits of the 802.3af standard include lower deployment costs due to elimination of electrical outlets, and increased reliability especially when paired with an uninterruptible power supply. It also enables simpler installation because it goes wherever Ethernet cabling is utilized.

"All Tangled Up": The NBX Handset Cord Detangler
by Sarah Grossman
 
Let us all raise our handsets to that small, trusty part we call a detangler, our savior to the mess of twisted phone cords and unneeded aggravation. Have you tried purchasing other detanglers that don't seem to stay in place? That's because your NBX Phone contains a much deeper cord plug-in port than most other phones, causing the typical detangler to fall out. We took it upon ourselves to design our own cord detangler specifically designed to work with the NBX phone handset for all NBX Phone models.
