Analogue lines on Voip

[derbydave]

Hi

Does anyone know if the i2002-2004 phones have the provision for an ATA like the M39xx series do or if there is a way of providing analogue lines over Voip?

We have a new campus opening shortly for which all the phones will be IP run off a CS1000 with sig. server at our main site.

However, it has now been realised that 3 or 4 analogue lines will be needed for fax, credit-card payment machine etc.

I know that the remote office 9150 system provides 1 analogue + 32 digital lines over voip but we just need some way of providing a few analogue lines.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Dave.

i've did use adapters to provide analog dial tone on an early rls ro, but they had a habit of hanging up

The solution is ATA IP like AudioCodes boxes or i3micro.
You will declare it in the NRS as gateway and then be able to place calls in or out

Thanks dlesap, for info.
Have you had any experience of any of those devices?
Do you know how it interfaces with the CS1000?

The CS1000 have a Sig Serv attached to it with a virtual trunk.
In SigServ, NRS part (GK), the CS1000 have to be defined as Gateway. For the ATA IP, it's the same...

In CS1000 define DSC to RLI Virtual trunk.

Then in NRS the DN for ATA IP must be define in Routing entries.
There must have no conflict in NRS, but a dn 1234 can be defined to ATA IP and dn 12 defined to CS1000. That works...

A complete documentation is in Nortel docs, IP Peer Networking.

Good luck

You could run a Nortel SRG - survivable remote gateway to that site. This would allow you to provide survivability to the local phones in the event of a main site failure and it would also give you an interface for analog station ports (for fax/etc.) at the local site.

It's cost effective and its made by Nortel.

You could then dial out using the main sites trunking or you could terminate local trunks into the SRG (which I recommend for survivability purposes).
