[Nottingham] Do VoIP phones need to be directly attached to a router?

[Jason Irwin]

As the subject says really.  Or can they be attached via a switch to the
router?

Eva has been told that her phone *must* be directly connected to the
router, but I really can't think why and am wondering if I am missing
something.
