[cisco-voip] POTS rather than Pri

[Curt Shaffer]

I have a project to install a CME system for a customer. This was turned
over to me from another, unrelated, installer. It appears that the router
(2811) was ordered with a PRI interface and 4 FXO ports. The problem is that
the customer is actually running on 14 POTS lines. To make matters worse,
their current old phone system is dying more and more every day. 

I'm basically trying to see how I can salvage time and get them migrated on
schedule. A change to PRI is going to take a while so while that is probably
the best option, I am stuck with the current system failing. Does anyone
have any recommendations of a device (ATA or similar) that I can use to take
in 14 POTS lines and bring it into the CME box? Time, low cost and
reliability are obvious requirements here. I will probably start the ball
rolling on the PRI order but I am sure that is not going to be ready for at
least 60 days.


Thanks for the input
