If you are re-wiring your small office for a telephone and computer network, here is a great suggestion to wire with IP PBX or VOIP Phone Systems in mind.
In the past, you would need to have a completely different wiring setup for key telephone systems or pbx phone systems and computers on the network. Not any more.
Have your telephone wiring installed the same way as your computer wiring. Build two separate networks for telephone and computers, but have the same type of wire, terminations ( CAT5E ), plugs ( RJ 45), panels ( RackMount Panels ) etc.
Separate the connections at the panel end, and have different colored wall plugs i.e Blue for computers, and white for telephones. It is easy to install traditional pbx phone systems to a network wired for computers, than installing an IP PBX phone system on a traditional type telephone network, if you know what I mean.
Confused?? Ok. Let me explain more clearly.
If you are buying or using your current key / traditional phone system, and you plan to change the pbx system to a newer, more feature full pbx system soon enough, then I would recommend the telephone wiring to be done the same way as a computer network.
Reason being, your current pbx phone system would just require a simple customization at the junction / panel end to be able to connect to your “new type” telephone network.
And in the near future, you would have the choice to upgrade to anIP PBX or VOIP phone system without having to re-do your telephone wiring.
Yes you could install the VOIP/IP PBX on your computer network, but that would be putting all your eggs in one basket. And should be a worst case scenario.
It has been noted that most problems and frustrations with VOIP PBX Systems have been a result of poor integration with the computer network.
Why have your computers and business telephones on the same network and invite trouble, when you can plan ahead and wire your office in a smart way?
