a call. It doesn’t tell it where to send the call so I wouldn’t classify sending ring voltage to be routing a call.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

If what you're trying to do is this:<br>
<br>
avaya:FXS <-----> FX?:Cisco<br>
<br>
I don't think you can.<br>
<br>
an FXS port is just that, a station port.<br>
<br>
I believe you have to do this:<br>
<br>
avaya:FXO <-----> FXO:Cisco<br>
<br>
There _may_ be FXS/FXO converters out there from the likes of Viking, etc. but I think FXO to FXO is what you want/need.<br>
