Hi all,
One one of our remote locations currently has pots lines and use that to make/receive all calls, every other site uses 8300s. They don't have an 8300 cause its just 2-3 phones. Now I'm being asked to install one there, I would much rather like to just put some IP phones there and have them connect back to one of our main cpus and use the PRI there. The only issue is if the network goes down and they loose connection, the phone becomes a brick. I did see that NEC makes an add on for the dt700 that will allow it to use the pots lines as a backup which is great, but is there anyway to make the IP phones use the pots lines for 911 and everything else use the PRI at my main site? I have LCR setup for this but I don't know if that addon can be programmed. If they were to dial 911 it would route through my main sites pots lines not good cause po po wont show up at the right place. I'd really hate to have to burn anther 8300 for 2 phones. Thanks in advance for any input !!
