digital phone clarification (cordless or analog installed on a digital line)

[blantonwh]

I am a novice pbx administrator that is looking for a solution to a user problem. The user is situated in a bldg that has no other cables left to use and running new cables would take some time. I just upgraded the line to a digital 2616 from the analog 8314. Without my knowledge, the user has a cordless analog that was split on the same line. The user has a specific requirement for the capabilities of both: digital conference, show incoming calls, etc and the analog cordless to roam the entire second floor of the bldg. Also, the user must maintain the same DN.

What are my options for rectifying the problem? Is there a way to get the analog cordless to work over the digital line? Is there a such thing as a digital cordless that could share the same line? Can I phantom the DN to an analog line that runs over the digital too?

I am sure I have used the wrong terminology for my scenario but I am learning each time I present my questions or problems. Thanks for all your help and advice.

Can't upgrade an Option 51c to VoIP. Your PBX's software won't support it... to add IP licenses you'd have to upgrade to the latest software, which doesn't support your hardware. You're looking at minimum a new core and associated hardware if you want to maximize your current investment.k

Yeah, I know that you can't upgrade the pbx, they are looking at keeping the pbx for all shop users and installing a CCM for about 25 exec. and admin users in the front office. Then implement more over the years. But as I said that was 1 meeting 6 months ago and nothing else has been said.

Things get fixed here after the fact..........however, it's too late then but that's how they operate.

Thanks for the information about the 51C limitations.
