Buying a headset for your VoIP phone can sometimes be confusing, but after some testing we have put together an easy to understand guide as to what headsets are compatible with which handsets. The guide tells you what choices you have and exactly what cables/adaptors are required to get your headsets working.

UC = Unified Communications.
So the Snom300 and Snom821 UC editions are now `qualified for use with Microsoft Lync 2010`.
Snom have also launched the UC600. A USB phone which is `optimized for Microsoft Lync`.
For full details on the announcement, see the full UC release.
If you want to place an order, contact your account manager at ProVu.
The main USP of the Snom UC edition phones is that they are a phone for Lync but also a full open standards SIP phone. This gives a few options:
So buy the Snom UC edition to have a phone which is both a stand alone SIP phone and a UC phone for Lync. Protect your investment by buying open standards.
They are not a switch. They do nothing with the data. You still need a switch port to connect each power port to.
For each powered port they have an in and out socket.
in = data only to connect to the switch or router.
out = power and data to connect to IP phone or other Poe device.
When you are using the 8,16 or 24 port version you would usually need a set of short patch cables to connect all the in ports to the switch.
So why not just buy a POE switch?
1) Size. The spans aren’t very deep so will fit in most networking cabinets. Many POE switches are full depth devices
2) to power an existing switch. If you have made an investment in switches, you can add power without throwing away. For many high end managed switches, separate power can be cheaper than a powered switch to the same specification.
3) if you just want to power some ports.
