IP to analog adapter

[silvercas]

Hello,

We have a definity system. We have remote offices that use the Avaya 46xx series IP phones. Is there an avaya part that will allow an ip phone to analog converter? I would like to hookup a fax machine, etc.

Thanks

There's no analog telephony adapter per se, but depending on your release, an Audiocodes SIP/analog gateway could do it, or again, depending on your release/licenses, a used G350 media gateway is pretty cheap and has 2 analog ports in it. Little big and bulky for a port or 2, but it would certainly fulfill the requirement.

We actually have a g350 in that location. the analog ports have to be configured???

yeah, if it were gateway 1, "change media-gateway 1", second page, module 9 is maybe/probably blank, you can press help and I believe you have to define module "1T+2Tel" or something to that effect to enable the 2 built in ports.
Then you should be able to add an analog station, and use port 1v902 and 1v903 for analog phones.

ok so change media-gateway 1 is the remote gateway. we have the 1T+2Tel" in v7. unfortunately we only have one page

 

[kyle555]

thats right. Then you'd add station XXXX, and its port could be 1v702, and on the base of the G350 is a port you'd get dial tone from.

awesome Ill give it a try

you seem to know about sip, have you worked with a callxpress vm system?

 

[kyle555]

No, not specifically, but they probably support doing it over PRI through a SIP gateway. They should have an integration white paper to something like a Mediant 1000 to tie it with SIP to that, and you get to use PRI on your PBX to get to/from voicemail.

below is the document the company wrote up. We dont current have any licenses for sip trunking. avaya cant give me a straight answer on cost for sip trunking licenses

This thread's getting off topic...start another one. Do you have a Session Manager? What release of CM? disp system-parameters customer-options should tell you what's in your license, but if its release 6, you probably have most of what you need
