You part is now done, and it took about 30 seconds :face_with_stuck-out_tongue:

 Looks like we are doing a PBX migration this weekend. 
- 
 I'm figuring out how to apply a dialing standard that is not designed to be handed by FreePBX. Forcing 800 users to change a nearly 10 year habit will not go over well.

 Two PBX migrations!

Forcing 800 users to change a nearly 10 year habit will not go over well. We have IP Office <insert Mr. Yuk sticker here> and I kept getting notices that we were calling 911. Our users were fat-fingering 9 for an outside line. I know, I know. I don't even ask anymore. I changed it to 8 for an outside line. The backlash was severe. Monumental, actually.

We had a problem where people wheren't using the "outside call" button on the old Inter Tel phones - then dialing Jimmy Johns xxxx911x, so the first 4 x's were an invalid extension, so the system would dump it, then they dialed 911 - and were getting 911, but then the employee would realize the system was getting what they wanted - so they hung up on 911 instead of telling them it was a misdial.

There was a point where I added a route to the outside so that all outside calls needed 8,1-number and would strip out the 1 for local calls and push through the 1 for long distance....back in the day we had our lines split between local and long distance.

Pre-PRI/SIP Not sure we could do that here. The 402 area code is both local and long distance. The dialer (person) just has to know - or deal with the phone system error for not dialing a 1 if it was long distance.

They were just a pain in the ass to setup. Probably was called Least Cost Routing.

 All work this weekend. Tomorrow is major bathroom overhaul work. Home stretch there. 
 Sunday is a PBX migration in town.
- 
 Need to cut some holes in our walls to get a sub panel up stairs. Then finishing the upstairs laundry room. 
- 
 No plans this weekend, just how I like it. 
- 
 Went to a Ham Convention with my dad. Pretty cool stuff still going on in amateur radio. Then went to dinner with family and DIL for his birthday. 
- 
 @nerdydad Sounds fun!

 @jmoore said in Weekend Plans: @nerdydad Sounds fun! Watched a guy work an amateur radio satellite with 2 radios and a cell phone. Everything else he built himself with a tripod, some copper, PVC, and a dowel rod.  
- 
 I've not thought about the weekend at all yet.

 @scottalanmiller said in Weekend Plans: I've not thought about the weekend at all yet. Father's Day weekend. I think I'll be home alone working on house stuff.

 @nerdydad looks interesting and fun!
