We have two setup as they were implemented at two different times. First one is a total separate system for the phones and they work with POE switches. There is a Vlan setup to access the system, which could allow me to expand the phone system on the regular system, but would have to provide power. The second one is integrated with the data network, but is in it's own vlan. We provide power before the switch so the switches are plain old layer 2 switches, but the phones connect first to the network and then the computer works off of the phone, but in it's own vlan. We run a cisco network, but the phones are 3Com. Dan Daniel Zobel Director of Technology Heyworth CUSD#4 309-473-2250 - Direct # 309-473-2822 - Grade School

Do you use AC adapters or widespread PoE? Do you have all your phones on a different VLAN? Curtis McKay Network Administrator Belleville Township High School District 201 cmc...@bths201.org
