Thanks, Spartan_1337. &nbsp;It turned out that a few pins were somehow pushed down and hence couldn't make contact with the cable head. &nbsp;All is well now.

I have a VoIP phone that suddenly fell off the network... It's powered by PoE and gets network configs, etc. from the same switch. &nbsp;It's powered on at the moment, but can't get any profile/configurations... and hence is not working. &nbsp;All other PoE VoIP phones on the same switch work just fine. &nbsp;Please advise on what I need to look at. &nbsp;Thanks.<br />
<br />
p.s. I tested it at other desks and it worked fine, as soon as I plug it back at this desk, it's powered on and does nothing else.

VoIP phone fell off the network

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).

Voice Over IP

IP telephony (Internet Protocol telephony) is a general term for the technologies that use the Internet Protocol's packet-switched connections to exchange voice, fax, and other forms of information that have traditionally been carried over the dedicated circuit-switched connections of the public switched telephone network (PSTN). Using the Internet, calls travel as packets of data on shared lines, avoiding the tolls of the PSTN. The challenge in IP telephony is to deliver the voice, fax, or video packets in a dependable flow to the user.
