With that said, i have a question. Can i hook up two Cisco IP phones on one phone line ? Like have the phone line connected to the FXO (idk) port of a router, and a router connected to the switch, and two phones connected to the switch. Can both phones use the same line ? how does this process work ? thanks. Im pretty sure that how the companies have it. ( phone line for multiple phones). but just making sure.. again, sorry for the ignorance

I know for analog you can daisy chain the phones together so they share the same line but only 1 person can use it. For IP phones that might be hard. Also the phone line going out to Central Office or the wall jack at home which goes to CO only supports 1 call so most company have T1's going to CO which supports 24 calls per T1.
