Well, another day and I am back home eating a late lunch/dinner after leaving the customer's place at 11PM. I tell you, making sure all ISDN, DID and analogue lines ring (45 lines in total) at the correct extensions and re-diverting them is not funny at all.
This is what happened:
1) Customer is upgrading to a newer Phone system
2) They got a new ISDN line too
3) They want to maintain the 25 analogue lines until April and July, which 17 is used in the Phone System
This is not a problem until:
1) They need an Automated Attendant to annouce to their clients
2) Each extension must have a DID number
3) If they are busy, the call will automatically forward to another extension
4) Certain options in the Automated Attendant will connect their clients to Hong Kong
5) Their fax will be using ISDN lines too
And it got serious when:
1) They changed their minds on the operation
2) The forwarding goes to other departments
3) There is not enough slot for the Analogue lines since the System can only fit 8
4) In order to solve the above, we need to sacrifice a few extensions (ports)
5) In order to sacrifice the extensions, we need to relocate the existing ones to other slots
6) Then they changed their minds again
7) And again
8) And again
9) The decision is now at version 9.01A
10) Certain lines rings at different department and each can pick the calls with a button. Until we realise there were so many extension changes, we had to start from scratch.
Aiyoh. What a headache. But its done. So, on Wednesday, its time to test the system.

They changed their minds again.
Then the test was a success
And they changed their minds again.
And I escaped with my Life by Lunch-time.
But on a bright side, I bumped into an old schoolmate while I was trying to look for food in a closed cafeteria.
