I have a MICS system 6.1 with 20 Phones W/flash and currently using 18 M7310 phones and 2 as spares

I have a warehouse about 2 blocks from here, where I have a wifi bridge from our store to this warehouse, tied back to the store via a 16 port switch, that is connected to a DSL router, I have a computer at the warehouse that can access the internet through this connection. Working perfectly.

My question is: Is there any way possible to get a phone station over there (would only need 1 that would have the same functionality as the M7310) to tie back to the MICS system and work as just another extension. say Extension# 239.

I can't see how a M7310 can do this, but what about a IP Phone? is this possible? How would one connect this back at the store to the DN on the punch down block?

I'm hoping this is not going to be a pricey expense for just the 1 extension, but it may be.

Has anyone done this?

Appreciate someone's advice or possibly a link to someone who has.

Thank You,
Jay

Thank you for your prompt replies,

I will have a look.

There are units that support one phone only and you will need a master and a remote unit. They do not work well over wifi unless you use qos.
 
ME's work great for this as atdjr123 mentioned, a bit pricey for one phone.
For the cost, if it were me I would set up my Flash VM with a guest mailbox '239' and set the outbound transfer to dial a pots line at the other location using an analog set, probably a wireless. Outside, Intercom and even transfered calls will ring your analog set. Not the perfect solution, should I shut up?
 
I can see the price for the modular extension would be too costly for 1 set. We don't have any phone service at the warehouse. I was hoping for a way to put one of the other extensions over there via the wireless network. I saw a MCK 7000 Gateway and a mck 6000 extender on ebay last week. Only 10 bucks each, pulled from a working system. Put $200.00 on each and got my butt kicked in the last few seconds. I appreciate everyones input and suggestions. Will keep looking for a way though.

Might want to look into the Citel 1100 which actually can implement what you want to do over a POTS line. Don't know what the costs would be, but i understand it's inexpensive.
