Um... no. Like ports do not connect. One sides needs to provide battery and dialtone, and one sides needs to accept battery and dialtone. Always office ports to station ports. 



In this scenario, since the Avaya is provide the station port, you need an office port on the Cisco.

If what you're trying to do is this: 

avaya:FXS <-----> FX?:Cisco 

I don't think you can. 

an FXS port is just that, a station port. 

I believe you have to do this: 

avaya:FXO <-----> FXO:Cisco 

There _may_ be FXS/FXO converters out there from the likes of Viking, etc. but I think FXO to FXO is what you want/need.

Looking for a quick answer on something. 



For a specific scenario, I need to route calls from Cisco to an analog “station port” on one of my Avaya’s. 



Question is; do I need an FXO or an FXS in my router to accomplish this?
