Don't laugh but this is my first install for my company. I'm using a 40/8 shoregear switch. I set up the networking equipment for the new location before taking it down. We wanted to make sure everything worked correctly before going live from the new locations existing network/ phone system. So I have a SonicWall tz300 connected to each location with a VPN. I have the switch configured to connect back to headquarters. In my connectivity monitor on the shoreware director I'm showing that all sites are connected and working. I plugged in the Shoretel phones and they connected back to the server and we tagged the mac addresses to the right users. The only thing missing that I'm aware of is that we haven't connected the existing POTS lines into the Shoretel switch. I was thinking that I would still be able to make calls within the site and within the connected sites without a POTS line? So to test I made a call to each location, it rings but when the other user picks up neither of us hear anything. But, if the user does not pick up it will go to voicemail.
I would just plug it in and test it but the site is really far away and I want to get some clarification before I get there. Because I will have to go down on the weekend when the office is closed to finish the install.
