All,
I have a question about the PC port on Cisco IP phones (in particular the 7962G, 7942 and 7911). We are in the process of a large VOIP deployment and will need to run new CAT 5e/6 cabling to areas where there are limited data connections as well there current analog connections. I've always heard that Cisco does not recommend running a printer or copier off of the PC port on these phones. However there are others saying the phone is a switch and you can run printers (HP & Cannon) in our case. Has anyone had any experience with this or do you know what Cisco recommends. Our voice/data networks are segmented by VLAN as well as our printers in some offices. Please advise. Thanks! Phillip
