Disconnect supervision

[AlecWaters]

Hi,

We have a Norstar Meridian key system here (a Modular 8/24, I think), which I'm hoping to connect to an FXO port on a Cisco router via an ATA2 box (I want to implement an off-premises extension via IP).

I've been told that the Meridian offers no kind of disconnect supervision, and I'm worried about Scenario 1 as described here:

(watch for URL wrap!)

If there's no disconnect supervision from the Meridian, will my off premise extension on the FXS side of the network (phone B in the scenario) continue to ring if it goes unanswered?

thanks a lot,
alec

I do this all the time! Yes, it will work, and no the phone will not continue to ring. I have had a little issue from the ATA locking up, but on newer switches that has not been an issue. I run a security system over a configuration your discussing here.
