MItel SX200MLRM Intalling into new building from scratch

I am installing a Mitel SX200ML(RM) control cabinet and peripheral cabinet into a new building for my client. I have mounted them in a (some other cable guy's) rack with RJ45 patchpanels. It is powered-up but not connected.

I have Amphenol cables ready to punchdown 20 - 50 extensions to get them started in their move from the old building. I have multimode fiber patch cords for interconnection between the cabinets. I have about 20 misc handsets (4xxx models). The extenion cabling is in place and landed to the panels.

Two of the seven analog dialtones will be turned-up in the adjacent closet tonight with the balance up in a week or so.

I don't have a laptop to communicate with the pbx, nor a buttset, and I am trying to find my toner and punchdown tools.

Go live is 9/2/08. I need to get at least the couple of dialtones to hit the switch so I can discover if this thing works or not, right away. It was bought about 6 years ago and all I have to go on for now, is an invoice of the components purchased and password, etc.

I have programmed professionally-punched-down Definity and Intertel boxes.

Now can I say hellPPP!? Really though, it doesn't seem too dificult, with just a little nudge in the right direction. Thanks for reading. I can send pics if you need them.
 
A little nudge? Wow, I would consider this to be a life-ending leap!

What is your question?
 
No Laptop for programming - Problem
No Buttset for Testing - Problem
No tools for terminating - Problem
No Experience with Mitel - Problem

Analogy Time:
I have a car with no engine, its locked in a garage and I don't have access, I left the ignition keys elsewhere and I need to drive it to whoknowswhere by tomorrow. I've worked on trains before without any difficulty. Any Suggestions?

Leap of faith not withstanding, I think your hooped.

Your best option would be to find a Mitel dealer and sub the job out to them. Turning up a switch (that you don't even have a current MOS record for) with no Mitel experience is just asking for trouble.
 
Thanks folks, for the great ideas! I really appreciate your prompt replies.

I use a miserable AT&T Palm Centro and the horribly buggy and undependable AT&T Xdepressmail to push my yahoo messages, so I didn't know of your info for three days. After gathering the materials for my client and racking the pbx, I have suggested they seek another tech. Yay!

I am looking for a more-suitable PDA and service... but I digress.
