<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2> I have several sites
with overhead paging systems. I have linked them to CCM using an ATA186
hooked to a Valcom paging adaptor (the exact model number I cannot remember
right now). I just put a phantom DN on the ATA and program a speed dial on all
phones that need access. They press the speed dial and are greeted almost
immediately by the Valcom "talk tone". The paticular model I am using has
feedback reduction. I highly recommend using a phantom number, because if
someone on the outside dials into it you could have a problem. This has been
working perfectly for the last couple of years. I tried to use an FXS port on
a 3725 once, but I had problems with the port not disconnecting properly and
getting hung up. I switched to the ATAs and have had no more problems. If you
would like I can get the Valcom model number I am using, just let me know.
Hope this helps!</FONT></DIV>

<P><FONT size=2>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
