A buddy of mine is setting up a new law office and asked for computer help. I am a Server Administrator now and have been a Network Engineer in past jobs. So the computer side is easy as can be. I am also working with him on the phone side and I am weak here.
So he has 8 Nortel T77316E phones that he wants to hook up and we have bought the following:
Norstar Modular ICS 0x32 w7.1 software
Norstar Caller ID 4 C.O. Line Card
Norstar Startalk Flash 2 Voice Mail System
I have a couple of 66 blocks that have the Amphenol connectors on them I found a local supplier that sells 5' Amphenol cables that should run from the MICS to the 66 Blocks. 5' isn't that much cable to deal with.
So now my questions. The MICS has 3 ports for the Amphenol connections. The bottom one is the connection from the phone company. We have 4 lines from Comcast which will go here.
The Middle port says it is for Aux and Extensions. I assume the Startalk Flash 2 will punch down here somewhere. Not sure where. Then because it says it is for extensions does that mean I can get by with punching down the 8 extensions here or will I need a second 66 for the top plug to punch down the extensions.
Also about the Startalk Flash 2. Do I need any special cables to hook that up? It appears to have a regular RJ-11 jack that will run to the MICS somehow.
Thanks
Dave
