9600 Series Telephones - Network Port Pass Through?

[sjforcum]

Scenario:

We have the 9650 telephones with the PCs tethered.

Question:

Should the 9650 lose connectivity to the PBX, can the Interfaces be changed to pass-through to allow the PC's to operate while the phone is in discovering mode?

Nevermind....we just tested and the phone does indeed pass traffic through from the PC....

Yes it will Steve, but, I have had many issues with slow file transfers when using the downstream port on the IP phone, I would not recomend it. Also, of course when the IP phone reboots, the PC will lose connectivity.
