seconds before forwarding packets
between the access port and the
network port.
Set this option to Yes if you connect
both ports to switches for redundant
uplinks or if you daisy chain phones.

forward packets transmitted and

These applications include monitoring
and recording applications (common in
call center environments) and network
packet capture tools that are used for
diagnostic purposes.
