Hi all,
We're in the process of switching providers from Windstream (former Paetec) to Verizon, and Verizon had some questions I'm not sure about (I inherited the phone system admin title :/ ):
Hand-off type (Analog or Digital): I'm not sure which we're using. With Windstream, we have a T1, but that's about all I know. Can I find out specifically what type of handoff we're using via IP Office?
Also, in regards to transferring DID's, Verizon said this:
"Please label the specific number/s belonging to an alarm, credit card, modem, elevator or ATM lines. It needs to be removed from the list since special lines won’t be supported in VoIP platform and it will lose the functionality when ported."
I installed two cards into the IP 500 to give us four analog lines for fax machines and a conference phone, as the rest of our phones are digital. Are these cards converting the analog signal into digital? If so, will they still work with Verizon? I gave Verizon the details of our Windstream service, and I know that they're supplying a 1.5 Mbps TDM that's capable of 24 concurrent calls.
Any input would be helpful
