I've got a pretty large install coming up next month replacing an old Rolm system at a large resort.

Planning on taking lots of pictures and wanted to know if I can post my progress here?

Thanks

Sure. We could even pin it for you until the project is complete.

800 phone install, that sounds like fun.

Enjoy doghart


Rolm was a great system until IBM bought them out, boy did they screw up a good thing up!!

Sip phones? or NEC IP phones?

No Voip, customer didn't want it internally, don't blame them.

About 150 Dterm phones and 650 analog stations. 3 PRI's to start, then going to implement 72 SIP trunks later.

OW5000 with UA5200 and MC550.

Should be fairly straightforward (I hope). PMS integration always throws me for a loop, but the staff on site really have it together so hoping for a smooth cutover.

Thanks for Info Doghart. This will be a interesting event no doubt.
I will be following your quest.

Fun building up that MDF..

Alrighty, let the games begin....

On the test bench, mini PC for call accounting on top of unit 02:




The Rolm/Seimens PBX and the original cross connect field:




I was able to slide the Siemens over and get my 4 post rack into place. We also installed additional ladder rack for the 34 new tail cables coming out of the SV8300:




Getting the hardware mounted in the rack. SV8300, 3 full units and UCE Server as well as some misc equipt (Call Accounting PC, MOH etc...):




Alternate View:




Installed Wire Managment between the chassis of the 8300 for all those tail cables:




Beginning of tail cable placement:

Have to make some room for 18 new 66 blocks:




Rack looking fairly clean but not 100% done yet:





New tails (white) routed behind the exisitng tails we pulled away from the backboard:




Another view:






And another:






Took a break from taking pictures to install 780 phones and 6200 feet of cross connect. We used green Xconnect to keep track of old jumpers vs. new.:



Another view:





Another:





Front of PBX Rack now complete:





And that's the story of how I spent the last 2 weeks.

Very nicely done.

How long did the data collection take?
