Hello All,
Thought I had posted this an hour ago, but don't see it, hope I am not reposting.
Currently remote office has a Merlin 2, which is a pain in the but for me. Lost programing, can't program via PC, etc..
The group has 4 lines, five extensions and a two fax machines. They don't have many requirments, although they want to add extensions.
I am currently thinking about upgrading a Partner system we have (it's basically a free system) to ACS, rel 6 or 7 (with remote access, etc) and plopping the system in place. It also has a Partner Mail system, which I think works. I already support another Partner system, and think it would be best for them right now.
Comments?
Big question I have now is they want to start using a office across the street from the warehouse. I have been told they don't have any lines from warehouse to office, but I also saw some IROB for the Merlin 2 system...well, maybe it wasn't for the Merlin 2, but they were protectors, and I would bet they had some method of tyeing the office and warehouse together.
My limited background can think of the following ways to handle the office/warehouse system, perhaps someone can comment and offer suggsetions:
1. Put in conduit across the street, probably directed boring or whatever that's called.
2. Try to convince the city to let us string some wires across the street, doesn't seem likely right now.
3. Use tie lines between the two systems.
4. Have two seperate systems.
Again, thanks for all the comments and ideas. Last hurdle is the warehouse and office across the street.
I appreciate all the help,
Jeff
