SOURCE: Problem with SW 4400 - restarting....

switch dont restart by themselves without command, first remove the switch from the network, disconnect from internet, make sure you hadn't fired anybody recently it sounds like a hack. reduce network traffic to local area only and priortise important internet traffic. now got back to the switch and troubleshoot make to check the reboot command on error or when error is found, if the problem stops when the switch is remove somebody is messing with the network.or the darn switch is faulty install a new one.

Voicemail in use message

Reboot the phone system (through the browser) and this should take care of it. There are limited voicemail ports and sometimes they get put on hold and can't be released. I have seen it a lot. some versions of software can clear this but a reboot will take care of it.

3com 3crwdr200a reboots every 30 minutes

The 3com website is remarkably shoddy on this issue, and doesn't have the newest required updates. Even the KB on their site is thin on solutions.

You really need firmware 3.6.4, yet 3.0.1 is the latest on the official website. Try this page:
http://3crwdr.googlepages.com/

for the very latest firmwares, and note that it's best to clear out the router memory completely before adding the new firmware to it. This is because it sometimes doesn't like the new image files otherwise. The way I suggest:
1. Note all of your settings manually (don't save a config file, it may not read back in).
2. Hard reset and clear the memory, by holding down the reset button and powering on.
3. Connect to 192.168.1.1 with your browser - you may need to mess with the network settings on your PC to get it to connect. You will see a very bland screen, asking you for a firmware file, rather than the traditional login screen.
4. Upload the latest firmware, downloaded from the site above.
5. Allow the router to do it's business and restart.
6. Connect back to 192.168.1.1, and you will once again see the correct router software, with a new install wizard.
7. Re-enter all your settings, as noted above.

Stacking Cable / SuperStack3 3870

Found this on 3Com website: The SuperStack 3 Switch 3870 family (3870-24 and 3870-48) can stack up to 8 units high. Stacks can be formed with any combination of 24-port and 48-port units, with a maximum of 384 (8 x 48) front panel ports supported. When connected together, a stack of units is managed as a single entity. All units in the stack need to run the same release of the operational version code (firmware). When units are stacked together, they operate in a master-slave relationship. One unit acts as a Master and the other units act as slaves. When looking at a stack of units, the master can be identified by looking at the Stack Master LED on the left side of the switch. The Stack Master LED is green for the Master. If the unit numbers are out of sync, go to the CLI command that allows users to re-number their units- system / control / renumber. This will re-number the units in the stack. It will take about a minute or two. The master is the only unit that has a visible command line interface (CLI) when a console cable is connected to it. If you connect the console cable to a slave unit, you will not see the CLI menu, but instead see slave status messages being displayed. The Master unit may not be unit 1. http://knowledgebase.3com.com/consumer/esupport.asp?id=GUIDbfa9caa4%5F138f%5F4681%5Fbaaf%5F5c99ec5b7ff4&resource=&number=0&isExternal=0&nShowFacts=&nShowCause=&nShowChange=&nShowAddInfo=&activepage=statement.asp&bForceMatch=True&strCurrentSymptom=3C17462&searchtype=normal&searchclass=&bnewsession=false&selecttype=match
