Currently, we are utilizing the uc320w with the add on spa8800 gateway, an esw 24port poe switch, and spa504g phones. The location for one phone is about 400 feet from the poe switch (moving this is not an option) and the distance exceeds the line capacity. My initial thought had been to simply add both the WBP54G wireless-g bridge phone adapters and PA100-NA Power Adapters to one of the spa504g phones and run them through our existing wireless infrastructure. The AP's (proxim ap600's) are plugged into a "dumb" switch located 200 feet from the ESW switch. After reading the forums, due to the vlanning done on the ESW, this is not going to be a viable option as the phone wouldn't receive IP addressing on the appropriate VLAN.
So...my question...how can I add an additional phone (preferably using the spa504g that I already have and the wbp54g/pa100-na options) to make this work? My initial thought is to run a secondary line from the ESW to where the "dumb switch" is located then add another "dumb switch" to connect the AP's. Will this work? Honestly, I am looking at cost effectiveness for this application rather than the best practice (I know that is an ugly trade-off).
