No laptop programming for that one.

It is a 2pair system. All programming thru a phone.

Thanks for the detailed information on the system.

A long time and well respected board member here has brought to my attention that he has all the components you need with the exception of a power supply. I'll let him chime in and discuss any arrangements about his equipment.

Now for the bad news. That particular system does not have the capability to extract the internal custom programming. That would have to be done manually and then entered manually to the second system.

Does your customer want to invest that much 2 man tech time into a system that is into the senior years of its expected life span or is this a good time to squeeze a new system into the budget?

Well, I guess John is talking about me "A long time and well respected board member", Thanks, John!

Now for the bad news, John pretty much said it already, the system they currently have is 10 years old, it ' might ' run for another 10, But, My guess is that as soon as you power it down , it might not come up again. I do have the equipment you are talking about. But, without knowing how the current system is programmed, I don't think it will do you any good.(the equipment I have is also 10 years old)

PM me if you still think I can help you with this situation. I really do think they should also look at a NEW system.

nonameyet just an FYI you can connect to those systems with Hyper term or procom

I was thinking about that, I know you can connect, But, I Thought it was only to upload new software?

It's been a while but I know you can do programming and I think you can do a backup. i know you could do these things remotely with the modem but I cant remember if you can connect directly to the cabinet

I talked to the customer and they seem to think there system is analog and the newer systems are digital. It is a radio station and they said it is easier to transfer caller around the station with the older system. They have a newer system at another site and it tougher to get the callers on the radio. So if they could find a refurb system like theirs they would like that.

Shawn, PM sent.

Are they referring to a newer ESI system or a system of a different brand?

Yes a newer ESI system
