Cisco routers specialized for analog voice usage. Since they aren’t modular
they are cheaper to build and support.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Subject: Re: [cisco-voip] 2951 with 64 FXS ports<br>
<br>
I'm not really familiar with EVM-HD-8FXS/DID, can you please tell me<br>
how can I use this to connect RJ-11 cable in? Some customer requires<br>
VG with 48 FXS ports with RJ-11 interface for analog phones, but I<br>
can't understand how this EVM-HD-8FXS/DID works.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
