[cisco-voip] POTS rather than Pri

[Vince Loschiavo]

Well.....I don't know about an external box....but you can terminate a
bunch of FXO's on a 2811...provided you have enough DSP's.

Step 1) remove PRI Wic

Step 2)  Just get yourself the following:

-3 more vic2-4fx0 (for the wic/vwic slots)
-1 NM-HD-2ve (for the NM slot)
-And 2 more vic2-4fxo

For a grand total of 20 POTS lines.

You may want to use the DSP calculator to verify that you can get enough
DSP's in the 2811 to support this config...

Subject: [cisco-voip] POTS rather than Pri

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

Curt
