I could do with some advice regarding office phone systems, specifically, buying, requirements and installing . . . .
My lass and her 2 bosses (Recruitment firm) have just moved offices, the new office has 9 data and 8 phone sockets (+ 1 fax) which all terminate to a patch panel. They are all 8-pin RJ45 fully connected to a patch panel in the back room. The bosses asked me about having a phone system that can transfer calls between them. Its a basic system, but I confess that I havent got the foggiest about how to start, what they need and what to buy.
Anyone got any advice, even some sort of basic system and what would be needed. Is it better to use ISDN (There are 3 dual ISDN line boxes in the patch panel cupboard - dont know how to use them either!) and have 2 lines or is it just easier / cheaper to use the analogue ones on the phone system?
