We ecently installed a 2800 with a dual pri card. the system was configured with two 2.8G processors and 1 G of Ram. The system has been running in excess of 100 days with no problems or reboots. The system supports approx. 100 telephones, a mix of Cisco and Polycom

Hi ,

if i want to go beyond 100 extensions, what are all the additional hardwares, i have to buy ?

what kind of extensions? Anaolg, VOIP,?

I will be using VoIP extensions…

As long as you server and network are up to speed you should need no additional hardware for VOIP extensions.

The first thing you need to figure out is how many simultaneous calls do you want to handel. See my first post and follow the link on dimensoning.
How many pstn lines are you planing on. You may be better off gettin a t1 from your pstn provider than using 24 pots lines

Hi,

Rightnow i have a 24 lines with analog PSTN lines to be connected with TDM cards. The resaon to go with PSTN lines is , i have a two year service agreement with that Telephone company. this enforces to go with TDM Cards.

Also i will be having more interoffice communication, than the outside calls.

Please give me your suggestions.
