Please redirect me if this isn't the right forum for this. A friend of mine and I were trying to configure his VOIP device (Grandstream HT701) to my PBX and we failed miserably. My node is a Rocket XW, and he has two nodes, a 5Ghz and 2.4 GHz pico station. He was able to get into my node through his, but we were unable to do direct IP dialing or see the PBX (RasPBX) from his pico station. His switch has no special configuration and he believes that it should just work.
I have a feeling we need to set up a switch with VLAN in his network to make this work. Can anyone expound on this about the whys and wherefores?
Thanks!

One quick-n-dirty option is to turn the LAN dhcp off on one of the pico stations in basic setup. Then power cycle everything in unison. This works, but you have to remember if using that node elsewhere, it's easy to forget this setting and LAN devices don't work.
Ideally, configure an 802.1Q switch with the vlans to make the LAN ports distinct and assigned to a given mesh node.
