I have a Nortel Meridian PBX. I am looking for an inexpensive way to connect something (VOIP gateway?) to an analog port that will connect over IP to a VOIP phone on my newtork. So if I pick up the VOIP phone, it will "pick up" the analog line on my PBX and I can make a call.
This is to allow me to put phones in remote trailers where I have ethernet, but no telephone cabling.
What route should I pursue?
Thanks, Dean
Sounds like you want this:
[analog PBX port]--[adapter]--(IP WAN)--[adapter]--[analog phone]I don't think you can use the WAN to emulate the analog loop to the PBX port this way.
In the VoIP world, you typically connect your analog phone to a VoIP gateway, which in turn signals to a server using the SIP protocol. That server itself, or another server in the WAN, will have a trunk to the network where your destination analog phone resides.
