Good point with the 5-port tip. &nbsp;We have a situation where there are three desks to one wall jack, but luckly only one phone. &nbsp;Plugging the hub in to the PC port of the phone works fine, no issues.

We are currently designing a Cisco VOIP conversion for our Centrex lines and I have a question about the Cisco VOIP telephones. We are going to be using the 7942G and 7965G series on our network and we'll be plugging our computers into the switch on the back of the phones. My question is; has anyone had any issues with this type of setup? I am primarily interested in issues or gotchas that people have experienced. The phones will be connected via Cat 5 to 2960 POE switches for network access.

Issues with Cisco VOIP Telephones

Voice over IP (VoIP) is a methodology and group of technologies for the delivery of voice communications and multimedia sessions over Internet Protocol (IP) networks, such as the Internet. Other terms commonly associated with VoIP are IP telephony, Internet telephony, broadband telephony, and broadband phone service. The term specifically refers to the provisioning of communications services (voice, fax, SMS, voice-messaging) over the public Internet, rather than via the public switched telephone network (PSTN).  Examples of the VoIP protocols are H.323, Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP), Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), H.248 (also known as Media Gateway Control (Megaco)), Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP), Real-time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP), Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP), Session Description Protocol (SDP), and Inter-Asterisk eXchange (IAX).
