[cisco-voip] PIMG vs Analog Dialogic integration

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

Cool. Thanks. Not only is there an existing analog integration, it's more than likely a short term fix (1 to 2 years). I'm not looking to introduce any new features, but I also don't want to lose any. 

The PIMG unit would be the Cisco PIMG unit (but of course!) which has both T1 and FXO as far as I can tell. 

Man, if that's all that's required, that would be cool. I might have to try and swing a PIMG unit from my account team.

It depends on what kind of PIMG you're going to use. There is the 
analog PIMG, that's basically a box with 8 fxo ports. Other than 
configuring the PIMG and Unity, it is pretty much a drop in 
replacement from the PBX's perspective. There is also a digital PIMG 
that emulates a digital PBX set (different models for different PBXs, 
of course). If you're using that, then you'd need to configure the PBX 
for 8 digital sets (per pimg) and patch the connections into an SLMO 
line card. 

For new installs, the digital boxes are usually easier to get up and 
running and a bit more feature rich, but if you've got an existing 
analog config and are looking for the least amount of fuss, the analog 
will likely be easiest.
