How to Setup ATA186 with Another ATA186/CCM 4.0

[Stalion]

Hi,

Can someone advise or maybe I speak with...

I am trying to setup/test with a couple of ATA186's that I have just got hold of. What I would like to do is set them up together locally in the same network, no going through the internet, and then to a colleaue over the internet.

1.. Can I setup two ATA186's back-to-back, or do I have to use CCM to set the call up - this being locally.

2.. If I wanted to use one ATA186 locally and set another one up with a colleague via the internet, again can this be done on a point-to-point basis or do I need to use CCM.

Would appreciate your comments and advice, nice ones please

Thanks in advance.
John

It can be done on a P2P basis, how I'm not sure..

But yes it can be done..

I think what you have to do is define the Directory numbers on the ports, then for the gatekeeper/callserver you put the other ATA in there.. so when you call the DN of the remote device, it will do a call setup to that box, pass the digits, then the remote device will process the call..

you need the 323 load on the phone.. then you can dial via ip address instead of number.. use a phone with speed dial connected to the fxs ports. will make your life easier..
