Networking two BCM 50's

[ccarmock]

Soon I will need to network two BCM 50's together.
Is the recommendation in this instance to switch them to 4 digit extension numbers and have one of them in the 2xxx range and the other 3xxx ?

or is it ok to keep them at 3 digit extensions?

Also I will want the capability of making a call from an extension on BCM A that dials out using a trunk on BCM B - any tips for that?

You can use steering codes to contact each site such as 71 or 72 etc as long as the number is spare. Also you can have a linked number scheme.

You can configure phones to dial out on lines across a network, but you need to "play" with remote access packages and do some tweeking in the routing tables.

All the best

If it's working, then leave it alone!.

In all honesty if you haven't performed this type of work before I wouldn't go into this situation alone.
