sx200 MX connect over WLAN? 1

[nroussi]

Hi all,
I just got handed a new client (a hotel) that has regular analog phone extensions in every room. The hotel has 2 buildings that are separated just by a street. Their phone guy installed all the extensions on Mitels SX200FDs in each building. Each building has 10 regular phone lines going into it. From there, they are connected to a Mitel SX200 MX and each building has its own T1 connection and their provider does MPLS VPN between the 2 buildings.

Being a pure SIP VoIP guy, I can yank everything out, install an Asterisk PBX, put a SIP phone in every room, connect the 2 building with hogh gain WLAN antennae, pay one connection fee and call it a day. BUT, since they installed this system last year and paid a lot of money they cannot invest any more money on hardware.

Is it possible to interconnect the 2 Mitels FX200MXs over a regular LAN? Can anyone suggest a solution where I dont need to have 2 connections, and phone lines going to 2 different buildings?

Tahnks

If you have an MPLS program the ip networking in the 200's
Start with form 48 set up the voice network. You are going to have tosetup VLANs in the local area networks. The Technician's Handbook is a good reference.
