ok please dont flame me about this as im new !!
i just wanted some advice on the following :
at the minute, ive got a network installed in my house which consists of a few cat5 ports running wires into a standard switch.
I wanted to know if I could easily incorporate my phone system into the same network setup without the need for much additional hardware.
I only have 1 telephone line to the big wide world, so i wanted to know if i could piggyback the telephone system on the same wiring system I currently have setup for my ethernet.
Im not sure on power outputs of the telephone system (i think its 12v??) - its standard BT (in the UK) so i wasnt sure if this power would affect my ethernet at all, or whether I would need an entirely different network to get my telephone spread around the house.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
ps i dont actually have IP phones, i just wanted this solution as i find it easier working with ethernet rather than with both ethernet and rj45 cable
