Bilal,<br>I don't think anyone is telling you that digital phones don't need cards.<br><br>I do think they are telling you that NOBODY makes a card that drives digital phones for use with Asterisk.<br><br>Your initial assumption that Digital phones work with Asterisk is untrue. They can be made (forced?) to work using a CITEL gateway, which communicates with Asterisk via SIP and ethernet, but only for phones from a handful of manufacturers. Previous posts cast doubt on the results you can expect.
<br><br>I don't know how to say this any more clearly. I too am Avaya certified and I have no illusions about using Avaya or Nortel digital phones with Asterisk. <br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 5/10/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">

Hi List;<br><br>As I know from AVAYA (I am AVAYA certified) that<br>digital phones are connected to digital cards and it<br>does not go through ethernet switches at all, digital<br>phones should be independent on the ethernet network,
<br>so if the network down, these phones will start<br>working, it will be totally isolated from the data<br>traffic.<br><br>So, how that come the digital phones does not need a<br>card for it? Also, how it will use ethernet switches!
<br>It does not work with IP Packets.<br><br>Any one can advise.<br><br>Regards<br>Bilal<br><br>__________________________________________________<br>Do You Yahoo!?<br>Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around
