Tie two Mics together

I have a customer with Two Mics and a T1 tie for data between the two sites. What I am looking for is to use some channels in the T1 to tie the Norstar systems together. Any ideas?

 
We have this exact same setup. Two MICS (5.0) tied together via a T1, voice/data.

We have an Adtran 3205 with a DSX port located at each site. The T1 is seperated with the first 6 channels being voice, and the remainder data.

Each MICS has an E&M card to allow the phone systems to "talk" to each other.

Our corporate office extension scheme is 2xxx & the other site is 3xxx.

So, at corporate, we designed the 3 prefix to use line pool B, and at the other site, we designated the 2 prefix to do the same.

In order to support direct-dialing, you need to have each extension assigned a target line (ring-only). We have 2 appearances of each target (to match the number of intercom buttons).
 
Thanks for the input, If I use an E&M card I'll lose 4 lines, right? So I would need an expansion card and trunk module?
Please bear with me I haven't done this before....

 
looks like bwtc outlined the setup pretty good. Why not use T-1 cards in the MICS and set the lines for E&M wink auto ans? You would also need a services card or combo card. You now have the option of using more DS0 chans for voice if you need them.
 
Sorry, I don't know that answer for sure.

We have a maxi (6-port) system at corporate -- at the other site, I'm unsure if it is a mini or a midi. (I don't think there are any expansion units there -- have have 4 copper lines hooked to it, and 32 ports total there).

I don't know if this info helps at all.

At both sites, lines 1-6 are designated as the voice channels through the E&M.
 
I don't know if this will help you about losing the 4 lines; I'm connected to our remote location using a RAD, and am looking at the module status.

The remote location has 2 cards in it: Card 1 is a 24-line card (for the T1). Card 2 is a 4-line card. So, we only have 4 copper lines hooked up to our MICS at the remote location.

If you have more than 4 copper lines hooked to your unexpanded MICS, then it looks like your options are to either expand it, or lose 4 lines.
