VoIP on an Windows Enterprise LAN
I have been given the task of setting up VoIP on our network. I honestly do not know the first thing about VOIP except for the basics like what it is.
We are running Windows server 2003 and have 60 switches 1200 workstations running XP
Im not really sure even where to begin. We have the Cisco phones to start out with but other than that im lost. Should there be a VoIP server that is used to manage the VoIP network. Or should there be a totally different network? These all may be stupid questions but i need at least a point in the right direction and i can figure the rest out.
Thank You for any help

We are not going to have 1200 IP Phones. Just a few key locations on my ship are going to have them. They are a secondary means of outside voice comms. POTS being first.
I was thinking of setting up a separate vlan for the phones and setting static IP address for all the phones, setting up a rule for the VoIP in the ISA firewall. Then configuring the router for VoIP. After that im not sure where to go.
