Rep Power: 6SilentWind(but_deadly) is on a distinguished road
That was put very well by pirates ghost (as usual). The installation and programming of a phone system is not rocket science and I studiosly avoid putting on airs in that direction. That being said, it is a legitemate skilled trade. There are several different categories of knowledge that combine to make a phone tech. Do you have basic wiring infrastructure knowledge ? Have you ever used a punch down tool, do you know which row you punch down the 25 pair amphenol breakout cable from the phone system onto a 66M block. Do you know the difference between an analog and a digital phone and an analog and a digital phone system port, and all their varios implications. Do you know what a DID is ? Should thier fax lines run through the system ? What is CFNA and what does it have to do with voicemail ? What's the difference between Auto Attendant and Voicemail ?
My point is not to irritate you, but to back up the suggestion that, if your going to pull this off in the real world, your probably going to need a tutor, on site, from your area. Will you be a proficient phone technician after being tutored to install one phone system? If so all I can say is ;
you rule the planet.
As the Pirate's Ghost sayeth, post back and we'll do what we can.
