Tying two Nortel nortsar systems together.

[zerohour80]

I am not sure where to start. I have been asked to connect are other two plant locations to are main plant. Both facilities are 40+ miles apart so I will have to rent fiber line but I am not sure what line to rent and also the best cost effective issue. Each location has roughly around 35 phones. We are currently using two Nortel Norstar phone system.
There was two ways that I was thinking about doing this one was using MCK gear at the remote offices then when ever they dial out it will go out the main plant location phone lines. What I would like is if they dial out they use the local lines at that facility. Is it possible to do that with the MCK gear? I don’t think it is. I have no clue how to tie two norstar systems together remotly. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

hi zerohour, in the past ive had two norstars tied together with point to point t-1's using them as did's (direct inward dial)this allows 2 sites to dial 4 digits to reach any extension.. they would use a mix of t-1 and local trunks to dial outbound. is it a must have that the 2 sites only draw dial tone from one site??
