It sounds like you probably had a fractional t-1 with 3 DIDs (probably more that you didnt use). Did your data also go through this pipe? Get a copy of your bill from the phone company.
Get a decent server. The beefier and more redundant the better. Get a single span t-1 card. As soon as you decide on a location, contact the Telco of your choice and initiate the T-1 installation process. It can sometimems take months. Ask them to extend the demarc to your suite if it isnt already. Make sure you have cat5e cabling to all the locations where phones are desired. Decide what phones you would like to ring when a call comes in, full autoattendant or auto-attendant backup after some time of ringing extensions. Extension range. IVR options (menu) If you need additional info you can contact me off-list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks, Steve ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Wagner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, July 07, 2004 9:34 AM Subject: [Asterisk-Users] New PBX Help > Hi All, > > We recently had an old office building burn down.
