So i searched, but i cant seem to find the best way to implement this. We are moving into a new office within the next month so we purchased a new phone system from talkswitch. Now the system itself uses landlines, but the phones themselfs are ip phones. The question is. would it be best to keep the phone network seperate from the data network. I have the ability to use the data network (each phone has a built in miniswitch; pc connects to phone, phone connects to ethernet jack).
In terms of cost, we have the switches to do it either way. The cost would be to buy an additional patch panel (each desk already has a cat-3 and a cat-5 cable running to each one, i'd have to redo the patch panel in the telephone room for rj45).
which way is better practice?
cliff notes:
combine telephone system and internal network together? or keep them as two separate systems. Service is not VOIP.
