Using CICS analog port for voicemail 1

[swfl]

Has anyone used the analog port on the CICS to attach a non-Nortel voice mail. If so any recommendations on a decent one?

I don't think that would work properly. You would have to find out how the mail passes integration info and all that kinda stuff. You would probably be under powered with just one port as well. Nortel Flash's are cheap on the refurb market.

Couldn't you have the the analog line ring along with the other lines, and set the answering machine to answer after a certain amount of rings? Just like a home answering machine. For a small application of course.

You could do that....as long as more than one caller isn't likely at the same time.

You better off with Call Answer or what ever your Telco calls it, have them supply the voice mail instead. If you have Call ID then you could setup a set/s to show you have the message and also have the number and password programmed to call it to check the messages.

But if you dont want to spend the money per month you could hook up any cheapo answering machine to your ATA as long as you have lines assigned to ring the ATA.
It's your answering machine that control the ring count.

If you only have one line then you could loop the line to the answering machine and to the trunk port on the KSU.

They only have a couple lines. They are down to bare bones as everything took a dive here in SW Florida. They had a callpilot that gave out on them (which is overkill anyway now) and they can't afford a new one. I think they are going to get one of curlycord's options. Thanks again.

The Call Pilot might be repairable unless it took a lightning hit.
