Paging over 1

[TJaw14]

Does anyone have a valcom paging set up with a call manager remote site router? I have the card I need for analog conversion for the router at the site, I just need to figure out the most basic pieces of equipment to implement overhead paging. The ceilings where I want to set this up won't allow for overhead speakers so I would need to set up some small speakers to provide the audio.
Any idea what valcom equipment will suit this?

Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Good morning! I've been told that Valcom has solutions and we'll need to find out more about them very soon. Go to valcom.com. In the past I've found their Customer Service to be really helpful! Please let me know what you find out.
Thank you!

Valcom will work with call manager as it is an analog integration (although they do have IP integration as well).
It all depends what you want the paging system to do.
As Oldtimephoneguy said go to valcom.com and find your solution there. Their web site is very helpful and so is their support.

I installed an ATA to a Valcom unit... A power supply was needed for the paging equipment but other than that it was really easy...

Hey all. Good information! I just found out that we're cutting over a small location to Call Manager and they have Valcom talk back speakers. Can these be reused on the new system?
Thank you all!

I have not seen anything that advises you can not reuse the existing equipment... In Fact the only time we used a new paging system was on a brand new install....

You need to survey the site and determine how the paging system works today.. Example is it line feed by a trunk (CO), or a single line extension of the sytem....
