A great clearly presented video! I'm hoping I might be able to get in touch with you just to ask if it's possible to adapt this same pass through system, on say a rotary phone converted from pulse to tone.
there is a scenatio that if they use that setup PORT >> U if we remove the phone and plug the computer directly into the network it works fine. The phone is causing issue?IP PHONE >> COMPUTER the computer is getting the IP from the network but it is not authenticating.. but when they remove the phone and directly connect it to the computer it works just fine.. is there an configuration on IP phone that is halting the connectiio passing throug PC?
For the connection from PC's ethernet port to VoIP Telephone's PC port you've shown. I assume that this connection will have a separate IP address for PC and seperate IP address for VoIP phone itself, so total 2 IP addresses. Is this correct understanding please?.
Hi I'm going to ask a very dumb question, so please bare with me. I am going to begin a job in a work at home call center. I have VOIP thru Xfinity but I also have to be hard wired into the computer. If I use a VOIP phone will that solve my problem?
forgive me, I may not be understanding your question. But, this role you are describing (WFH agent) is becoming very common. I do a lot if work with companies like Ring Central, 8x8, Fuse, etc. which provides the services for this job. Anyway, typically the agent uses one of three ways to connect to the inbound callers 1. a company-provided voip phone. 2. a company-provided software phone. 3. route the calls to the agents home phone. what is confusing me about your question is the part about being hard-wired into the computer. Do you mean the network has to be hardwired to the computer? Or, a wires USB headset for voice?
@@VoIPTelecom When you do a call center job at home, they do NOT allow Bluetooth or similar headset (comm) connection, it must be wired. I'm guessing the OP wants to use Voip instead of her personal landline, but I'm also thinking, she may not be "allowed" to use Voip for inbound calls, right? It's a security issue isn't it?
If my computer receives wifi can I switch this around to where my computer gives the phone internet? The reason I ask is because I don't have an extra space on my switchboard to add another Ethernet cable and I need to add another phone. If this isn't possible do you know if I can just use a wifi adapter or something?
Could you do this easily? NO. Could it be done? Yes, if you had a lot of time and a lot of know-how, you could set your computer up as a router and then make the phone share the access to the Internet via the network port on your Laptop. They do make Wifi-to-hardwire adpters that *might* suit this purpose. I've never tried it. Excelent question though. Thanks for posting.
HI VOIP Tech. I have a Snom 300 headset. similar ports. I want to know can I connect the one that goes to PC to a router to supply Wifi capabilities? I think its called a router or extender?
How do I get power? I unplugged the phone for a few days and moved it plugged it back in the same way directly to the internet. It won't turn on.. can you help?
Yes toss in garbage after a power outage or sit and wait for your internet repair guy to just show up or search around for a person with a actual phone to call for you !
Great question. The two RJ-45 outlets on the bottom of the phone are really just a two-port switch. So the upstream switch (or router) sees those as two, independent connections.
I can't believe anybody actually has to ask this. The ports are clearly labelled. The only problem with connecting a PC this way is very often the phone will only have a 100BaseT connection so you won't get Gigabit Ethernet to the PC.
Its is generally done by going from the wall outlet to the phone. Then out of the phone to the computer. I suppose you could buy a small 4-port switch and then go from the wall outlet to the switch. Then run a cable each to the PC and the phone separately.
@@VoIPTelecom I actually just connected it straight to my computer like if I would the wall socket and then went to my sharing this computer connection in my windows laptop and it connected to the net now every where I go I just need a electrical wall outlet and my laptop and I can pick up calls anywhere I have wifi 😀 thank you brother if it wasn't for your video in getting me started working from home I would have struggled a hell of a lot longer 👍
@VoIP Tech i dont know if you know about cisco phones, but if i got one could i hook it up to my xfinity internet box? it has ethernet ports on it. get back to me please
Gabriel, thanks for your question. Well, there's a lot of variables here. For instance Cisco makes phones that are designed to work with Cisco's "Call Manager". But, they also make phones that are designed to work with cloud-hosted VoIP services too. If it's the latter scenario, then yes it should work with your cable Internet. However, the phone needs to be "registered" with a VoIP provider like 8x8 or Callcentric in order to make and receive calls. Great question. thanks for posting!
Generally, YES. However, if you look hard enough, there may still be a few freebie VOIP account providers out there. Try doing internet searches for "Free SIP account". SIP is another term for a type of VOIP service.
hey, good to hear from you again. Your insightful comments and questions ARE appreciated. The small RJ-22 with the black cord going into it was the curly cord to the handset. But that extra, empty RJ-11 near the bottom is an AUX port. And, a lot of people immediately assume you can use that to get audio out/in. It's really just for adding auxiliary key lamp modules (aka "Side Cars). :-)
phoneguy 101 well, a lot of people (for various reasons) are trying to find a way to get line-level audio out (tape recording, amplifiers, things like that).
so when i plug in the computer with cable from the phone can i set a fixed IP to my computer different from a phone IP ? or they share same IP? second is this way affect the phone's voice quality or the computer's speed ? Thanks in advance
VOIP sucks . Power outage internet outage it is GONE. Usaly when you need it the most ! Seeing as many of the cell phone companies are the internet company as well your cell may be a paper weight as well when you need it the most .
George, I would be inclined to agree with you. But the polifieration of VoIP-based telecom is coming at us like a freight train. EVEN IF... you had a POTS line, most of what happens after the first mile is VoIP.
Ahhh, I always wondered what the PC port was about. Thanks
Thank you! Wasn't clear in my Cisco Quick start guide.
A great clearly presented video! I'm hoping I might be able to get in touch with you just to ask if it's possible to adapt this same pass through system, on say a rotary phone converted from pulse to tone.
Hi James. I am flattered you’re looking to consult with me. But, I am stretched pretty thin as it is. I hope you understand. 😊
I’m confused there should only be one cable connected to the LAN hole? Or else 2 cables at the same time will damage the voip phone?

I am going from modem to phone to pc. Only one device will obtain an ip address and connect. Does it not work with a modem with one ethernet out?
Travis. Since your modem only has one Ethernet port on it, it may not be capable of giving out more than one IP. You need a router.
@@VoIPTelecom Thanks.

Can I take the internet that pc port connection to mobile phone with RJ 48 cables
Might work,, there's a few "what ifs", so hard to know for sure. Sounds like a fun experiment tho. 😄
I have the same polycom! And I’m about to get a Cisco 7942g!

I have heard that will work. I’ve not tested it. Let us know! 😊
thank youuuu big help
Does the VOIP phone to CPU use a normal straight through patch cable? Or something different?
plain ol' straight-thru cable for both (wall-to-VoIP-Phone and VoIP-Phone-to-CPU). Good question! :-)
@@VoIPTelecom I had to call cust support and manually set my CPU ethernet port, but It Works! Thx
so how does both the phone and computer obtain an IP address from the one network port?
Great question. The two RJ-45 outlets on the bottom of the phone are really just a two-port switch. So the upstream switch (or router) sees those as two, independent connections.
@@VoIPTelecom Great answer, thank you :)

Would it be a possibility that i could share the network from the computer to the phone insted of the wall socket rj45?

At 1:51 I see another smaller port on the back of the phone. What does that port do?
hey, good to hear from you again. Your insightful comments and questions ARE appreciated. The small RJ-22 with the black cord going into it was the curly cord to the handset.

What might people try to use that port for?
+phoneguy 101 they mistake it for an audio port.
What do they plug in? Headsets?
phoneguy 101 well, a lot of people (for various reasons) are trying to find a way to get line-level audio out (tape recording, amplifiers, things like that).
hamare telephone mein in port or telephone out port hai.
so when i plug in the computer with cable from the phone
can i set a fixed IP to my computer different from a phone IP ?
or they share same IP?
second is this way affect the phone's voice quality or the computer's speed ?
Thanks in advance
I'm also waiting for the answer? I have been thinking about this question, but i didn't find answers yet!!😅
