so how does a client pc find the server if there's no NAT? by IP address?? That makes no sense, to me, if the switch isn't assigning addresses.

The 'endpoint' (pc, softphone, mobile, desk set, etc.) 'finds' the server's IP address when:

) You configure the endpoint with the IP address or host name of the server. This happens either by a web page you fill out on the endpoint or a configuration file that is downloaded by TFTP, FTP, HTTP, etc.

) You configure SRV records in your DNS.

I think the old IAXy did some sort of discovery on port 9999, but I don't remember if it was device or server discovery.
