[cisco-voip] 7970 external ports

[Norton, Mike]

I gave up on trying to use the phones for paging. We still have one
school left that was done that way, and we are in the process of undoing
it. The only thing that has any hope of competing with the ambient noise
in a room full of students is an actual, honest-to-goodness paging
speaker. You think a Grade One classroom is bad -- try junior high.

 

We found IP speakers still too expensive to implement so we just use an
analog paging system hanging off an FXO port. Bogen PCM2000 in most
cases.

That's all good in all but we are trying to help increase the volume of
paging in hopes of it being louder then 30 1st grade kids.    I need a
way of micing the internal speaker out.

 

any other ideas?  I know I could put an IP speaker in every room but
kind of defeats the purpose of the phone in the class room cost savings
;-o

I think that feature is being deprecated. Too bad really. I would really
like to have a phone with an input/output jack.

In the meantime, you can use something like this:

on the 7970's they have external mic and speaker jacks.

 

in CM 4.1 I enabled them throught user pref / audio pref and they
worked.  I'm trying another 7970 in CM 6.1 and the same audio pref but
he speaker is grayed out with internal.  Can you no longer use the
external jacks or is it a load issue?  I'm running 8.4.1sr2s

 

Thanks

 

Scott
