The switches that power them should be on a big UPS, with a generator that kicks in at some point before the UPS dies. It would be the same for any of the old Nortel phone systems where the phones are powered by the main unit (though they are a bit quicker to boot).

variant two: battery starting the generator is dead!

Ya don't get me started. We had a SonicWall firewall that is no longer there because it was too expensive. I also no longer have company supplied business cards, too expensive.
