Distance Limitations for Digital Sets? - PBX Info :: Your Free PBX, PABX and Telephone Information Resource

New to the Avaya scene. Are there limitations to the distance a digital phone can be from the switch?

Certainly. It is known as the maximum "loop length". I am not familiar with Avaya but a Meridian set can go up to 1 kilometer (0.621 miles) from the PBX. I doubt that other manufacturers go much further than that considering the data and power limitations on copper. Hope that helps.

While I don't know the exact number, if memory serves it's well over 1000ft...

How far are you trying to go? :wink:

an IP phone may be an good alternative for you, if you plan on having a lot of these.

My boss is not into the VoIp scene. He likes the TDM world. If it was IP, I would have to ask you guys all these questions. ha ha!!

I presented another question regarding programming hunt groups, any insight?? See entry from CSG.

Thanks a bunch!!
