Hi All! So I've got my lab set up and all the phones configured and I'm looking to add some analog lines to it. In my case the cheapest way is to add analog trunks via an ATA (registered with Voip.MS) and then have the analog ports on the ATA connect to the analog ports of my SG60/12 (direct...

I am in the process of designing a small CME system for my home so that I can experiment a little with it. Where I work we have a CCME set up with Shared DNs and they work well since there are four lines going in and each rings on a respective shared DN resulting in a key system effect. This...

Well, the problem is that all of the A&F installs are subcontracted by a music production company called PlayNetwork and i have no idea who PlayNetwork subcontracts for these installs.

Just out of interest, has anyone here ever done an Abercrombie & Fitch audio install? What do they tap their speakers at? The music in there is really loud and the quality is very good. I know they use Tannoy i5taw speakers, but does anyone know what kind of amps they use? The reason why I ask...

Yeah, im interested too. I'll definately give that a try as well, I measured the distance to the office, its about 60 feet, so hopefully thats not too far over the limit and admin might work.

yup, 2 pair in the positions 3,4,5,6 on an 8 position jack, or pairs 2,3,4,5 on a 6 position jack.

Skip 555, that's exactly what I was planning to do, we have two ethernet drops to each office, so for mine I'll use one of them for SMDR. Should work great, I'm installing this early next week. Ill let you guys know how it goes. Thanks again for all your help.

Thanks for your replies. This is for a residential application (my house)so 50 feet should be plenty. Skip555, wow, I never realized it would go that far for SMDR, I guess admin wouldn't go as far because its not only receiving but also sending. Thanks for your help

I have SMDR and Admin set up fine on my system. Do any of you know if there is a limit as to how long the SMDR and Admin cords can be (if there is any limit)? I'd like to run admin and SMDR cords to my office so that I can view the information and admin the system from my desk, instead of...

Yeah, I agree labeling (I use a thermal label printer) is incredibly helpful when it comes to troubleshooting. I usually label all extension ports and cables in all of my installs (at both ends), so I will do the same with the paging install as well. Thanks again for the advice, db

Thanks again for the recommendations! I found some belden 18AWG shielded twisted pair cable that I think would work well. Barrier strips are a great idea, I completely forgot about them. Thanks

Hi, I was reading some of the posts in this forum. From what I have read I am aware that for a 70V paging installation it 20 gauge sheilded cable is recommended. Does anyone know where exactly I can find some of this cable? If I did a home-run type installation with several loops running to...

Please bear with me, I usually admin partner systems. I was wondering about how definity liscencing works. I have read in various posts that definity needs to be licenced, and certain features must be "activated". I'm not planning on doing this, but if I buy a brand new TN798B circuit pack from...

Would #317 do the trick?

I am about to receive my Partner Messaging PC card. Before I install it i had one more question. The partner phones, as far as I can tell, only log calls if the call goes unanswered, or it also logs the call on the phone that it was answered on. Of course, the Log All calls works, but only on...
