How many phones can you route off an extender box, my understanding is that it's one-to-one ?

Thanks
 
Go to MCK.com for all the info. The "extenders" are 1 to 1. There are also "Branch office extenders" which can support 12 users per box via T-1 or IP connectivity. There are also "gateways" which support multiple connections at the PBX host side in conjunction with individual "extenders" at the remote side. These help you avoid a stack of individual extenders, power supplies, etc, at your host site when supporting individual users at multiple remote sites. -CL
 
The extender active ratio is 1 to 1. However, multiple users can 'share' an extender. For example, Employee 'A' uses the extender on Monday & Tuesday and Employee 'B' uses it on Thursday & Friday. Employees 'A' & 'B' each have a remote module at their home, with the appropriate voice terminal. In this example you can't use callback.
