Questions Received with Applicant Answers   ( Ask Questions? )




Will they consider a VoIP solution?

Answer:
 Hosted VoIP is not requested on this IFCB.

Do all 17 lines terminate to 210 W Patton St? Can you please provide a breakdown on the lines? For example: -How many lines go into phone system? -What are standalone lines not into PBX used for? -How many lines need to be self powered? Would the district consider a SIP handoff for lines into the phone system?

Answer:
No all lines do not end at 210 w. patton.  There are some that go to the H.S. campus (Sturgeon R-V High School, 24350 North Fairgrounds Road Sturgeon, Missouri 65284):  573-687-3512.  We believe they are all stand alone lines. and No we are not interested in an SIP handoff. 

Thank you for your answers. However, this still doesn't answer some of my questions. -How many lines need power on them in each building (alarms, elevator, etc). -How many line at each building are in a hunt group vs standalone lines. -Can you give me a breakdown on the standalone line? For example: xxx-xxx-xxxx = Alarm xxx-xxx-xxxx= Fax Etc...

Answer:
 The following numbers are in a hunt group:  573-687-3512, 573-687-3626, 573-687-3220.  These numbers are attached to an alarm:573-687-3515, 573-687-3441, 573-687-3512. All of the other numbers are standalone nunmbers.
