Hi all -

I have a need to connect a Valcom V-1101A single zone paging controller to a Cisco UCM based system.
http://www.valcom.com/pdf/v-1101a.pdf

Does anyone have any experience in selecting the right hardware on the Cisco side ?

The device refers to the following features:


• Electronic key system line key access
• PABX loop trunk port access
• 1A2 line button access
• 1A2 intercom access
• Page port access

I think they may be using it as  the "key system line" since that's what they had before.

I'm not sure what a "1A2" line button is -- but it sounds rather like an FXS might handle it- aka an ATA would do it, acting as an FXS port to the paging controller.


It also sounds like I could perhaps use an FXO port with the "PABX loop trunk port"
But, I'd rather not purchase an FXO card unless there's no other option off that list that would work.

I do have ATAs controlling other types of Valcom paging controllers
like this one, I think
http://www.valcom.com/pdf/v-9937.pdf
which do work with ATAs...
Does anyone have a clue as to whether the V-1101A can do the same thing??

thanks, Tim
