Hello,

At my company we are in the process of constructing a new building. Our current phone system was put in by Lucent Technology. What we are finding is that since the take over it has become very expensive to keep this system. Our plan is to rip out the old system and let one of our local phone companies replace it. Once replaced we want to get a t1 line to run between the 2 buildings so we have one phone system. My question - we currently have DSL for our internet service if we have a new system with a t1 line running between the buildings can I hook those users up to my dsl account without adding another dsl account. If there are any phone experts that can add some input I would appreciate it.

Thanks

It will depend what type of T1 service you are receiving. If it is only for voice communication you will not be able to but if it is split data/voice then you may. You could also look into get an IP telephony system then in that case you will be able too.

Couple of factors to think about;

1. How far apart are the 2 buildings ? If less than 250 ft have a Communications conduit installed between the 2 buildings install underground type cable and run whatever circuits you want between them.

2. Ifgreater than 250 ft, will this be a Point-To-Point T1 or an integrated T1 (telephone company will strip off channels)? If Point-To-Point you do whatever you want with the 24 channels on the T1, telephone company just provides a T1 pipe. (Make sureit is B8ZS, ESF for 64K per channel) and you will need 2 T1 Service Units (TSU's) Recommend a V.35 (to the router for Data) and DSX-1 (T1 output to Telephone systems) configuration.
