In several of our client's environments the ATA has to be put directly with the Fax Machine / Copy Machine. In this case there is often just 1 ethernet cable in the wall where the machine is located. Having the ability to put the ATA in bridge mode so that we can have it by the printer and it still have connectivity so clients can print to it would be fantastic! I know the Audiocodes ATAs are capable of this as I have configured them this way with other providers.
