You could absolutely do just that and wired data would work.  There are customers that expect the data port on the phone to function as well and/or if the MR30H isn't installed in the same location as the VOIP phone. ... View more

@MerakiDave, Would definitely like to piggy pack on the FR for adding VLAN trunking to MR30H LAN ports (Have wish listed it a number of times).  Simple use case in a hotel environment is having a SIP phone plugged into the POE port which also supports guest data off the SIP phone data port.     @rhbirkelund,  Without VLAN trunking capability it all but kills the this unless your network is completely flat.  The POE output for port 1 is only supposed to function if it receives 802.3at power in.  When testing this though, the 2nd MR30H in the chain did power an IP phone off port 1 when it was being provided 802.3 af power from the first MR30H.  My guess is that although it powered, it would have trouble at some point if the power consumption went above a certain threshold of wattage.  I wouldn't recommend daisy chaining MR30H's as it sits today. ...
