how to connect keysystem/pbx

shaila_rox · ‎05-14-2007

hi guys i m new to voip and just started my cvoice, i have a confusion plz help me out

1) if i want to connect a pbx/keysystem with a CO switch over analog lines then wat type of interfaces will be used at both end ?? i m asking this coz in cvoice book its written that if u want to connect keysystem to CO switch thru analog trunk lines the signalling used will be winkstart and all does that mean that the cards will also be E&m trunk cards ??? am i right in this ??

2) wat are the possible ways of connecting pbx/keysystem with a CO switch ( i mean physical interfaces and the signalling )

plz tell me in a bit detail coz i m very much confused

thanks in advance

Hi,

PBX/key systems can be connected to CO with a variety of types of lines. The most common is "regular phone line". Do not assume a given signalin will be used because this varies from place to place.

Then there are lines for DID, and other types more adeguate for professional use that are digital, like T1 CAS, ISDN BRI and PRI.

Hi, are you needing this for studying a cisco exam, or other type of course ?

There should be telephony books available at your library that may be easier to read than stuff you search on the internet.

Small pbx, keysystem or router are connected with regular lines to telco. Bigger ones uses digital.
