Last August set up an Avaya 500 system for the whole District 123 extension and DID for each extension. The DID's and the extension do not match (not a big deal). We also set up an internal emergency number within the district that rings all admin, me the maintenance Super (He is an EMT). This will get people on the move rather than call Fire guys or Cops, etc. The one thing we had trouble with was calling out. Within 2 weeks a few of out brighter teacher had called 911 by mistake. We set up 9 to start an out side call. So when they hit 9 then 1 for a long distance call they some time did 911. We change to outside line to a 7.
The only hassle is when we have some classroom changes and the janitors want to move the phone. Had to break them of that. Using static IP's the phones also. Each extension is 4 digits and the extension matches the room number, for example extension 2141 in my number in the HS where my office and server room is located. JH is 4### and elementary school is 3###. It took two days of planning an one day to set the whole thing up and working. The smoothing things out took about a month but it has worked very well since the middle of September 09.
