4602 IP Phone 1

[JayNEC]

Has anyone seen one of these? Rumor had it that there would be only 1 ethernet port on these phones, but I'm seeing conflicting information. Does it have a two port hub like the 4606 and up or did they take it out to save $$?
Removing the hub removes one of the reasons to go with a VOIP phone - namely a single CatV drop to the desk.

on the first models the port use to be a single extra hub port,
they got replaced with a full 10/100 switch, on the newer releases.
At least that is what Avaya told me,the 2001 brochure still says 'hub'
see the specs;

The 02 has a single ethernet port. The 4620 has a two port 10/100 switch. The other problem with the 02 is that it only has a 1/2 duplex speakerphone.

Simplified Wiring

These phones connect to your IP network with a single 10/100baseT Ethernet LAN connection. An Ethernet connection built into each phone enables you to connect a desktop computer to your LAN by plugging it directly into the phone, without needing a separate computer connection in the wall. The 4620 comes with an integrated switch, the other 4600 telephones (except 4602) come with an integrated hub with optional switch base. You can further simplify wiring by using the available Power over Ethernet capability to deliver power to the phone over your LAN, rather than using a wall plug.
