MVP130 FXO Integration

[Mullet_Rocker]

Is there a way to integrate the MVP130 with the IP Office such that 911 calls can go out the FXO port? The FXO Port would be hooked to a POTS line for proper location purposes on the 911 call. The integration guide only covers the ports on the MVP130 as FXS ports.

Doubtful. You configure an analog port as either getting a POTS trunk and expecting to receive battery and ring voltage from the CO, or you're an FXS where you expect to send that to whatever you're connected to.

If that MVP 130 can be configured either way, then I don't see why not. Otherwise, no.

Which one do you have.
There's are two versions.
One acts like a FXO, one a FXS

I have the one that has 2 RJ11 ports (what they consider channels. Both of these can be configured for either FXO or FXS). There is an integration guide for the FXS, just not the FXO. I have this working now by creating a SIP Line. I can call out, but am now fighting a one way audio issue and it disconnects in a little less than one minute.

just curious why in the 1st place would you even want to do this? why not just let the ipoffice do this

You'd better solve this, it is a IP Routing and Firewall problem.

Indeed, this is far too fragile a solution to use as 911, dangerous really. You usually remove as many points of failure as possible and keep it as simple as possible, this is as far from that as you can get

It's a Server Edition and the customer doesn't want to pay for the SE License to add a 500V2 in which we could put the POTS lines into. It's a small remote office using PRI trunking at the main facility in a different county. If they dial 911 over the PRI, it will show a DID from the main site in a different county and route to the wrong PSAP.

You'd do better to put a handset directly in the line and have that as emergency calls, what if their internet/network goes down or there's a power outage, they're screwed, a handset in the line will always work, or at least do that in tandem

Our service provider handles this for us.
(the 911 routing)
We have DID numbers for all office or phones.
So calls can use that local number for 911
We have 1 IP phone in the UK and 999 does work.

amriddle01, I will be using a handset inline for sure.
