Going to start by saying this is a system that was inherited and I know very little about it, so pardon the use of incorrect terms or anything else that makes me sound dense. I'm a network guy and try to leave telephony to those experts!
We have a G450 chassis that is working fine. 100% on IP based phones (~300 9608G and 9611G handsets and 4x MP80s installed) and currently have (I believe) a PRI into the device. Building is moving soon and the carrier at the new building (Lumen) does not/will not deliver a PRI - at least not natively. Being told in order to do a PRI we have to have SIP into an Adtran 908e which can automagically output a PRI to our G450. Lumen will supply and configure the Adtran 908e - to the tune of about $4,000 all in.
I'm trying to get a straight answer out of my current telephony vendor if what we have supports SIP. They say it does, but might need licenses....and we should just move to a whole new server-based system. I would be fine with that, if the quote wasn't nearly 90k. Management is not going to entertain that right now.
I'm looking for an unbiased answer if the system we have does or does not support SIP. If it does, do I need a license? Do I maybe have a license already in there? If I need a license, can they be purchased? Is there a command I can run to show the licenses installed?
The current telephony vendor did not install the device. That vendor/person was 3 network admins ago and their website/telephone number are dead.
Anyone in Southern California that works on these?
