I have three buildings and three IPK boxes. I want to hook them all together so that we can intercom and transfer and act like we are all in one building, seeing each others status on the Quick Touch buttons. I want all three locations to have shared access to CO lines. I want all three locations to share the same voice mail card.
I've been told to get a PRI card for each box and Point-2-Point T1 lines to connect our buildings. But a T1 line seems like antiquated technology when I have '5MB DownLoad/1.5MB UpLoad' fiber for my internet connection. Is there a better, cheaper, faster way to connect these boxes?
Rather than going T1 with "channels" and "MPLS" or something like that... can't I just do some port forwarding on a router, and get some card to plug them into the network, and give them the ip addresses of the other two boxes? Or are these systems not that smart? Thanks.
