Can two Alcatel OmniPCX Office phone systems be linked over a VPN\WAN?

Question

We have two OmniPCX's at two seperate sites, plus one Siemens really old thing at our main site. The 3 sites will soon be migrating into one big site. Instead of buying a new system, we was wondering if we could put one of the Alcatels at the new site, setup IP phones at the site it's removed from (4 users...) then link up to the 2nd site with the Alcatel - so that when they move over - we can migrate them as and when as the system is already in place. Then when the last site moves we can leave the old siemens system behind and get new handsets to join up to the alcatel.

I know it'll take up to 236 connections, we don't need that many - but close too (inc analogue).

Also, can two be run on the same site, so to take the connections up to 472 connections - if need be.

Thanks in advance.

No. Afraid not. The two systems will only work as an independant exchage. You might want to consider a hosted service until you have settled into you new offices. This will give you greater flexibility and control over you network. If you need further info drop me a mail and I can go into detail.
