Other end devices

Apart from PCs, laptops, and servers, Packet Tracer has a lot of end devices;some of these have no functionality while some provide interesting features.

  • Printer-PT: This is a network printer with modules similar to a PC except for the PC-HOST-NM-1AM module. The only option available in this device is the IP address configuration option.
  • 7960: This is a Cisco IP phone with two Ethernet ports, one for connecting to a switch and another for connecting to a PC. The only module available is IP_PHONE_POWER_ADAPTER. If PoE (Power over Ethernet) is not available, this module has to be used to power the device on.
  • Home-VoIP-PT: This device has no modules and the only configuration available is for the server address. This should be the IP address of the router on which Communications Manager Express (CME) has been configured. It has an Ethernet port and an RJ11 port for an analog phone.
  • Analog-Phone-PT: This is a phone with an RJ11 connector, which, when connected to a Home-VoIP-PT device, can be used to make calls between Cisco IP phones.
  • TV-PT: This television has a coaxial port and a single configuration option to turn it on or off. The screen can be viewed only in the Physical view of Packet Tracer. When this device is connected to Cloud-PT, it can be used to display a slideshow of images.
  • TabletPC-PT: This has desktop options similar to a PC but doesn't have any modules. It has a wireless interface for connecting it to a WLAN.
  • PDA-PT: This device is similar to the tablet we saw previously.
  • WirelessEndDevice-PT: This is a device with a wireless interface. It has an editable GUI that uses HTML code. The GUI tab has Traffic Generator similar to the one available on PCs and laptops.
  • WiredEndDevice-PT: This is similar to the previous device but has a wired interface.
