I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. Why "off premise"? The
system came with phones, and I was under the impression it took as input,
POTS lines. I know it doesn't have voicemail, etc; we've got that covered
in other ways. My plan was to use the phones that came with the system,
"sacrificing" one or more of them for interfacing with our home-automation
system, etc. Using a BASIC Stamp or PIC, I can make the server "push the
buttons" on the phones via a serial port, and with a little impedance
matching (or a speaker duct-taped to the handset), the home automation
system can use the "all call" or individual hands-free intercom capability
of the system to talk to us in various rooms and get a spoken response. At
any rate, right now all I'm after is the wiring diagram used to connect the
indivdual RJ-45 (?) modular jacks to the wiring coming from the station
cards; I believe the phones we have use 2-pair wiring; what I need is the
color codes (or pin numbers) from the big connectors (Amphenol?) on the
station cards to the individual modular jacks. I plan on ordering a manual
when I can, but I'd like to play a little in the meantime.
