To establish connectivity between the IP-PBX(A) FCM5600 and IP-PBX(B) FCM630A, we need to establish a connection between the two systems. This will allow extensions in both directions to communicate with each other.
IPPBX (A)
Model: FCM5600
Extensions Range from 1000 to 1009
Ip: 192.168.0.101
IPPBX (B)
Model: FCM630A
Extensions Range from 2000 to 2009
Ip: 192.168.0.102
NOTE!!!!! :Ensure that the extension numbers on both IPPBX are different. #
