[asterisk-users] Paging systems?

[Sebastian Nielsen]

The thing is:

Does the paging system connect to a line (like it was a deskphone) or does
the paging system ACT as a line (that you connect a deskphone to)?

 

If the page system is technically a phone, the it should work with a SPA.
What you need to do then, is to figure out what the line does to get the
paging system to auto-answer.

The first thing you could do, is to connect a regular home-phone to the same
jack that the paging system were PREVIOUSLY connected, and then try ”paging”
it.

 

Then check the display. It could display a specific caller ID (that you need
to fake inside Asterisk) or it could send specific signals (which you hear
on the rings).

If you then send this ”fake” callerid from the asterisk to the SPA, it will
also send out this ”fake” callerid out to the paging system and cause it to
answer.

 

 

Or it could be the opposite, the paging system IS the line, and you
technically connect a line-out port to the paging system, ergo, the page
system acts like a phone company’s line in the wall.

Then you need something with a FXS port (something that acts like a phone).

It worked on the old system.

I am open to suggestions, but don't want (or have the option) to add a TDM
card.

How did the page system answer the call when it was used with the analog
system?

You could propably ”fake” those signals from inside asterisk, and cause it
to answer.

Does anyone have an (overhead) paging system that they like that works with
SIP?

 

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.
