What needs to be done to remove a telephone system (PBX)?

Asked by grrgold (91points) May 10th, 2011

I have a phone system that I had leased for my business. The system has a central PBX unit mounted in my phone room, and 5 telephone stations throughout my business.
My lease is expiring at the end of this month and I don’t want to renew it in order to save costs. I have already identified a small telephone system that does not require a PBX but rather plugs into my regular phone lines.
I have 4 telephone lines in my business. What would a technician need to do in order to remove the PBX and return my 4 lines to regular phone lines so that I can use a regular telephone instead of the PBX?

Disconnect the existing PBX at the D-Mark and install the new system.
That’s the easy part.
It might involve a meet with the interconnect that you are leasing the PBX from and the local TELCO and the new system provider.

Remove all the old pbx devices.
@boffin the term is demarc for demarcation, not D-Mark.
Your new system will be installed and connected to the POTS lines. You may need some wiring based on the system you will be going to. But minimumly, connect the new small system to the POTS demarc point.
Can’t say much more without knowing the new system or the cable plant.

@boffin if my name was Igor, I wouldn’t want to have you call me Egor either.
