Extending analog ports

[Cinony]

Hello,

I currently have 3 avaya pbx's. Over the next couple of months, I will be done to 1 G3si PBX. I have afew branch offices that i'm using MCK's extenders to bring them dig phones. Is there a product on the market that can extend analog ports to a remote office? The link can be single mode fiber, T1,ethernet,or VOIP. I need analog ports in acouple of these offices for modem dialing and conference phones.

Thanks,

Stephen

Adtran TSU600 is a nice product to extend up to 24 POTS lines over T-1. It's configured in increments of 4 so costs can be kept to a minimum.

You should also be able to do this with FXO\FXS ports on a cisco router. I think they come in 4 ports per "wic" or whatever it is.

I have two analog extensions, in the next state, off a G3si using VOIP MultiTech units(

http://www.multitech.com).

At the G3si is a two port VOIP MVP210, and the remote sites I'm using MultiTech single port MVP130. One is on a Frame Relay service and the other off T1 service. They work great! and only use 8Kbps of bandwidth!

The issue is going to be the fact that you want to use them for modems. Data is not voice and presents a significant challenge over the IP Network. MAKE SURE THE PRODUCT YOU CHOSE SPECIFICALLY SUPPORTS MODEMS. I'm pretty sure you won't get a 56K connection off of a MultiTech with G.729 (8K).
