Suggested Digital Gateway

[Carlos Montemayor]

Hi,

 

I have had success with analog Gateways (both, FXO and FXS), however, I am about to have my very first encounter with the digital world and I need guidance. The potential customer has an old MD 110 originally from Ericsson (today Aastra) and I have already talked them into moving to snom. However, they will like to keep as many as possible of their phones, which are of the model dialog 4222 and 4223. On the carrier side, they will also want to keep their current E1.

 

What Gateway or Gateways would work? Which one would mean the least pain for configuration and installation?

 

Thanks in advance!

We don't have much experience with Ericsson/Aastra gateways. But the interop requirements for gateways are fairly low. I would say you have a very good chance to get this working, and if it does you'll save probably thousands of dollars for a new gateway. If you have to purchase a new one, the usual names that come up are Patton, Vegastream/Sangoma, AudioCodes, Mediatrix, maybe Teles or Beronet.

Hi,

 

I am afraid that the Dialog 4222 and 4223 phones are proprietary and work only when connected to a same brand PBX, like the MD 110 they are hooked to now. If so, I will have to quote the snom IP PBX, plus SIP compatible phones, plus a Gateway for the carrier side (the E1) and in that regard, I may acquaint myself with a Patton or Vega. Hopefully the price tag does not go as high as to kill the deal.

 

Regards and thanks for the prompt reply

Oh I got that wrong... Yea phones are an entirely different topic. I am not even sure if they support SIP. And if they do, you can expect only a basic feature set.
