Not only is there an existing analog integration, it's more than likely a short term fix (1 to 2 years).

There is the<br>analog PIMG, that's basically a box with 8 fxo ports. Other than<br>configuring the PIMG and Unity, it is pretty much a drop in<br>replacement from the PBX's perspective. There is also a digital PIMG<br>that emulates a digital PBX set (different models for different PBXs,<br>of course). If you're using that, then you'd need to configure the PBX<br>for 8 digital sets (per pimg) and patch the connections into an SLMO<br>line card.<br><br>For new installs, the digital boxes are usually easier to get up and<br>running and a bit more feature rich, but if you've got an existing<br>analog config and are looking for the least amount of fuss, the analog<br>will likely be easiest.<br><br>On Fri, Jan 23, 2009 at 12:30 PM, Lelio Fulgenzi <lelio@uoguelph.ca> wrote:<br>> We currently have a Unity 4.0 box with an 8 port dialogic card connected to<br>> our HiCom PBX.
