(the XTSc-IP ate its power supply, trying to hook up 4 more phones and 4 ports of voicemail and deal with the original unit next week.)

We tried to do this with an installation where there wasn't enough wall space with a 10' cable and it wasn't happening. The same applies for the STS/STSe systems as well.

They have an in house cabling genius who is going to see about getting one put together...
Hunting down a spare XTSc-IP cabinet with a couple cards this week and will swap back (because the 4 box solution is functional if I can get the cable the right length... but not quite as clean.
Now to find a newer main processor the the XTS that been buried in my garage for some years.... | | | | | Joined: Feb 2009 Posts: 3,132 Moderator-Vodavi, Vertical, XBlue | | Moderator-Vodavi, Vertical, XBlue Joined: Feb 2009 Posts: 3,132 | Absolutely positively always needed to use the 1' cable and never anything longer. That created a real creative solution once in a very small spaced installation closet.
