Large Hotel

[OldSchool70]

Have a hotel ownership/management group that uses IP office in their headquarters. They are asking for an IP office for one of their newly purchased properties. The property has over 300 rooms with three phones her room. They want to reuse the existing analog room phones. We have a few customers on server edition of this size but they are running IP phones. Does anyone have experience and or recommendations particularly with regards to the high number of analog extensions?

900+ analogue extensions across 3x IPOs in an SCN. About 10 Phone30 modules plus your voice networking channels licensing.
All adequately earthed!
26RU without allowing for cable management.

We have several systems with sizable quantity of analog stations. Are the three extensions per room simply paralleled on a single port? Regardless, IPO may have trouble ringing three phones unless they're electronic ringers. The big question is this: do they want any of the other traditional hotel/telephony features such as room/maid status, wake up, interfacing calling restrictions with property management software, etc. ?

Didn't know if IPO could handle more than one analog phone per port.

Depends on its REN.

I have used Telematrix handsets in suites; most have two phones one actually had three with no problem. The system only had 200 phones total.
