BCM50 to BCM450

[lcs226]

Hello all

I had a request from a customer today that I need to respond too.

He has 2 offices in 2 different city's so far no problem.
The offices will have POTS at both locations. The part I am not sure of is this. He wants all POTS from site "B" to ring at site "A" only and then have the attendant transfer them back to the right person at site "B"

I have linked BCM's before but not in this configuration, so any thoughts?

Thanks.

Network the systems together forward the trunks in programming across the network to the reception. All depends what licensing you have or want to purchase/sell... SIP it!

If it's VoIP between 2 Bcm's i prefer using H323 trunks.
Depending of the traffic, you could go with 4 VoIP gateway trunks and MCDN/Qsig licenses in each Bcm.
Don't forget to enable TAT in each system.

The systems will have 16 Voip trunks and MCDN on both. In the systems I have networked, I have never sent POTS form one system to the other without attendant use.

I tried in my test system for make the POTS private to the attendant in system B but got "not a valid extension

Use Line Redirect on the site "B" POTS lines to make them go over the VOIP Trunks to site "A".

Just be careful with the number of voip trunks you try to enable. The BCM50 max is 12 (not 16) but believe it or not, KRS will allow you to license as many as you want but they will not come active. R6 might increase that number but not 100% sure but it's not released yet anyway.
