@Mike-Davis Thanks! That's good looking switch and well under the budget!

@Dashrender Oh ok cool! I will see if there is such a device for the nortel. Could I put freepbx on the remote site first and still keep the call ID the same for both sites? Not sure if I can get them to approve a full phone system just yet.

Couple things..

You need to make sure the you have lines setup as a branch office for that side.

Second is you need a call pattern and failover 911 lines besides the PRI incase the MPLS is down. With Cisco this is all done with SRST and Route patterns.

Good point on if the MPLS goes down. If it does go down they are screwed!

Is the outbound dialing number the same for both sites? Or can you have different numbers outbound?

Different numbers should have different addresses for emergency services.

e.g if they dial out from Georgia they have a Georgia number. If they dial out from Cali, they use the main office number.

It is the same. Management wanted to to show the "same" number when calling out from both sites.

Does the site in GA have any local numbers?

They do have one fax line.

We have a remote facility in Georgia that we have an MPLS as the go between there and California. They have Nortel 1104e IP Phones there that use the MPLS to connect to our Nortel/Avaya BCM450 here in California and then out our PRI to make outbound calls. The issue is that when the GA site dials 911 for an emergency the call center shows the call coming from our address in CA and wants to send help to CA. I would like to know your thoughts on the best solution for handling multiple sites like this. Are we looking down the path of a new phone system at this point?
Thanks!
Edit: sorry i dont know how i got this posted into IT Careers.

@scottalanmiller You're hired!

Happy Birthday!! @scottalanmiller

I do like the Netgear switch we used here. And I just purchased the the Ubiquity UniFi AC Lite for the house and really like it so I'm kinda tempted to try Ubiquiti's switch here at work. Well thanks everyone!

Hi All! I am going to be adding IP cameras to our surveillance system and will need a POE switch. The cameras I plan to use are 5 watts each so the POE budget is 240 watts minimum. I recently bought a Netgear M4100-50-POE for a similar project but I am open to suggestion of other brands and models. I would like to stay under $1000 per switch if possible. I appreciate your thoughts!

Awesome @scottalanmiller ! This is exactly what I need to push my career in a better direction. Really looking forward to this.

I was just getting ready to graduate high school.

Hi everyone! Joey here from California. Thanks @scottalanmiller for showing me over here.
