CICS & VOIP

[DTone]

What is out there to use with a CICS to achive VOIP to the outside world. Is this possible? If yes is there a site to look at the options.

Thanks

Well what they want to do is have 2 Phones as off premis

CICS cannot do IP Clients / phones

bcm 50 is an option -
or else 3com makes a gateway to its nbx and lets you use the norstar tdm phones and 3com ip telephony
both cases you save the cost of digital phones

Well I got this to work after looking into MultiTech Gateways. Used a multitech MVP210 2 Port analog gateway at the office and a multitech MVP130-FXO 1 Port at each house
took 2 ports off the CICS ran them through 2 ATAs to the 210 gateway in the programming of the gateway you set it up as channel 1 & 2 to autocall 230 and 234 they have Nortel analog phones and can use all features on the system. Call extensions, check V Mail, access lines.

Could you have done the same thing without the ATAs and run the gateways into the CICS on trunks and had them answered with DISA in the compact. Iam not sure how the gateways would ring into trunks or if that would be possible

I had done that for our system and working fine. I use a SIPURA made SPA2000 as two incoming analog lines. Then put SPA2000 on each of the other end. Sign up four accounts with sipphone.com, which is totally free and much faster response than FWD. Enter two sipphone accounts into the SPA2000 near the Notel. One sipphone each into the remote SPA2000s.

Set the two analog lines connected to SPA2000 as one group, I use group C. then setup routing when the two extension number being called, it actually dial the sipphone account numbers by using group C lines.

Works reliably!
