<p class="MsoNormal">We’ve got a client with an old paging
system that (supposedly) just takes an rj11 POTS connection,
but when we put an SPA Cisco adapter on it, it doesn’t
auto-answer the call, so paging never happens.<o:p></o:p></p>

Does it expect to see a POTS line with battery on it?<br>
Then a Cisco or other ATA that would work to supply service to a
POTS phone should work<br>
OR:<br>
Does it expect to see a POTS connection from a PBX trunk, and supply
battery TO the trunk?<br>
Then you would need a Cisco or other ATA with an FXO connection.<br>
<br>
Both types of paging systems have been made and both styles of
connections have existed through the last 30 + years, and since you
haven't revealed the brand and model of paging system it makes
troubleshooting difficult.<br>
Using the existing system can be made to work<br>
I use a very old Harris PagePak VS that was used with a Western
Electric Horizon system back in the dark ages with Asterisk <br>
