Meridian Centrex 5208 on POTS

[telecomteen]

Hi everyone!

I was wondering if it is possible to connect a Meridian 5208 (centrex) to a standard phone line POTS(non-centrex). I would like to use the programmable buttons for speed dials and possibly have CLID. Is this possible, or will the unit simply not function without the Digital Centrex at the CO? Is there a piece of equipment that will convert the standard line into something that the 5208 would recognize (centrex emulation)? This phone will be connected to a Sipura ATA for VoIP purposes.

Thanks,
Matthew

the 5208 is a digital handset that will not function on an analogue line. It will only connect to a meridian 1 pabx.

Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
