When an eSpace IP phone is deployed with a PC, the network port of the eSpace IP phone must be connected to the switch independently.

Explanation
B (FALSE) is correct because eSpace IP phones are designed with a built-in network switch that includes both an uplink port (to connect to the network switch) and a PC port (to daisy-chain a connected PC). This means a single cable from the switch goes to the phone, and the PC connects to the phone's PC port - no separate switch connection is required for the PC.
A (TRUE) is wrong because it contradicts the fundamental design purpose of the IP phone's integrated switch: to share one network port between the phone and a PC, simplifying cabling and reducing switch port consumption.
Memory tip: Think of the eSpace IP phone as a mini 2-port switch sitting on your desk - one cable in from the wall/switch, one cable out to your PC. One switch port feeds two devices, not two switch ports for two devices.
