That's a pretty simple answer. You see, the Cajun is your PRIVATE control network (typically in the 198.152.x.x range). The ONLY items that should be plugged into the Cajun are the two S8700s, the IPSIs, the UPSs. If you have a Critical Reliability system with duplicated PNC then you would have had two Cajuns and dual IPSIs. By unplugging the Cajun you disconnected the etherenet talk path from the S8700 servers to the rest of the PBX (via the IPSIs). It would be sort of hard for the digital phones to operate without the processor.
The MedPros and CLANs SHOULD NOT be plugged into the Cajun. Instead, they should reside on your corporate LAN. Except for the fact that you disconnected the processor's communication path, the Cajun should have no effect on VoIP traffic whatsoever.
