What do I need to add VOIP to my Option 11c>
 
Mainly Money

You need a itg card and IP Lic.




This is an Analogy so don't take it personally as some have.

Why change the engine if all you need is to change the spark plugs.


 
If you don't have IP licenses already then you need to do more then just add an ITG card. Since you can no longer IP phones to a Meridian PBX, only to a converted M1 to a CS1000 or a new CS1000. You can only do VoIP trunking on a Meridian 1 as of REls 5.0.
 
Minimum:

1 Media Card
Basic IP license or IP license
OTM/TM or Signalling Server.
IP Phones
Routers/Switches
Data Geeks to seperate traffice between voice/data

In my experience, (under r4.5) a signaling server is only a (really) nice to have until you have more than one itg card. That is, if you don't care about having your recent callers/missed calls list. As I understand, it is required under r5 though. We have one itg card here, and I am trying to get a sig server into the 2008 budget, because not seeing my missed callers is starting to drive me batty.

If you are comfortable managing sets through a terminal, TM is completely optional.
 
Signaling Server" also gives you Element Manager which is a web-based configuration tool.
