sundance-communications.com/forum Forums TDM Business Telephone Systems Avaya - Lucent Telephones & Systems A little help on Avaya IP office

Have a possible new customer that has 1 old location and one new location. Wants to hook both together. I would use Avaya IP at both locations. I need a little help and to what equipment I would need. The old location has a partner 5x9 and 308 in 2 slot carrier. I know that has to be changed. New location has at this time nothing. Old location has 4 trunks and 9 stations with door unit. new location will have 2 trunks and 8 stations but only start with 4 stations at this time. Ithink this is what I need Combo card, 8 station dig card, 500 V2 with sd configured essntl lic the combo would have the vcm,s would I need anything else besides the VPN,s between locations I appreciate any help anyone can give me

In an SCN (Small Community Network) of 2 systems, they both need Essential license, and 1 of them will need Preferred.

So, system A would need:
2 - Combo Cards (combo card is same price as DS8 with more resources)
IP500
SD card
Essential
Preferred
VCE Network 4 (licenses h323 trunks)
Computer to run (Linux) Application server (Voicemail Pro and 1xp)

System B would need:
1 Combo Card
IP500
SD Card
Essential Edition License
VCE Network 4


Combo cards are the best bang for the buck as they are the same price as DS8, but include analog, trunking, and VCM Resources.
Please dont take this design to the bank, just yet. i would hope you are an Avaya Partner, and, if this is your first SCN, go to your distributor for design assistance, just to make sure.

Can't he VPN it and use a router ?

As long as the 2 IP Offices can route to each other, then yes. You can use MPLS, VPN, metro ethernet as long as they can route.
