You've already got a partial answer. I'll elaborate a bit. Although you may not have a choice, going trunk to station port tends to facilitate one-way calls. What I mean is, when the person with the trunk port picks up that trunk, they hear dial tone from the far end station port. The other end has to dial the extension number, which rings in on the trunk port of the far end switch.
That's not too big of a deal if an AA answers, it's just a bit inconvenient for the caller. It may be an acceptable solution for you. I prefer bidirectional trunks such as E&M. The Toshiba can do it. I doubt if the Pana can. This will make things a bit awkward. The simple answer to your question is, yes, it can be done. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of William C Biggs, MD Sent: Tuesday, June 01, 2004 9:52 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: KX-T: VOIP bridge ? Hello everyone, I need some advice from the "brain trust" here on KXT help. Here is our scenario: We have two offices, with separate PBX systems, about 1/2 mile away from each other. The offices are linked by a Wireless Ethernet bridge, with a very solid and reliable connection. The actual measured link speed is 6 mbps. The amount of traffic over this connection is low. Is there a device that can use TCP/IP over this bridge to connect the two PBX systems ? One is a Toshiba Strata DK, the other a KXT-1232. They both have available station ports and CO ports. I would like to be able to dial say, extension 777 at the Toshiba system and get a dial tone on the Panasonic as if I were a local extension there. And vice versa, dial 124 at the Panasonic, and get a dial tone from the Toshiba. I don't need any proprietary features, we would just like to dial direct to the other system's phones using the wireless system IP links we already have. Only one channel would be needed. And of course since our cost of operating the existing link is close to zero, we would get access to the other office for only the cost of adding a VOIP bridge at each PBX/KSU. Does this type of equipment exist at a reasonable cost? Is there an alternate way to do this without a recurring monthly cost?
