<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Mark, we had a similar set up. We had an old ROLM
9000 and used a 'trunk' port and connected it directly to the amplifier. The
trunk port controlled call supervision so it would always hang up.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We installed Bogen TAM-B units and used a VG248
port and things worked great. No problems whatsoever. If I'm not mistaken we
didn't even change the wires into the amplifier we just punched down right to
the same BIX pair. The Bogens are cheaper than the Valcoms and don't need any
power. They don't have all the bells and whistles the Valcoms have but we wanted
simple.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> [cisco-voip] overhead paging
system integration</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>After having exhausted all my normal avenues of research
(including<BR>TAC), I thought perhaps someone here has run into the same
problem I'm<BR>currently tackling. I have a site recently migrated to
CCM from an<BR>older Siemens PBX. The site has a custom overhead paging
system that is<BR>as simple as can be imagined -- tip and ring link to
speakers and when<BR>this is connected to with the old system, voice is
transmitted over the<BR>paging system. We initially thought we could
just link to an ATA-186 or<BR>an FXS port, but this thing looks like it is
off-hook constantly, so you<BR>can't only do that. I also tried to put a
Valcom V-9940 Paging Adapter<BR>in the middle, but my layer 1 skills are
limited and the solution failed<BR>(I may have selected the wrong wiring
configuration). My question to<BR>the list is, has anyone come up with a
method to link CCM into overhead<BR>paging systems, and if so, would you be
willing to share your solution?<BR><BR>Thank
you,<BR>Mark<BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>cisco-voip
