FXO to Valcom V-2006a on a 6355

[ryanpershing]

Hi All,

I have a customer who would like to hook up a Valcom V-2006a to the provided 6355 FXO interface, and be able to accept calls directly to it for paging purposes. I've been having difficulty getting the this set up, so I'd like to know if it's even possible at this point. We have a set of SIP users set up and an available one we can use, I just don't get how to connect the user to the FXO interface. Any help would be appreciated.

I suggest that you set the FXO as a trunk.

You can then use SABR to route the call.

The following two links should help you:

I’ll test this again in the morning. I’ll let you know the results.

This should work.

• Create a trunk for the analog port.
• Assign it to a grouped-trunk with an accept for the pattern to reach the paging adapter.
• Use blind-dial in case the adapter doesn't send precise dial tone
• Strip all dialed digits to prevent the trunk access digits getting sent to the Valcom

Caller dials paging access code, gets routed to FXO port and hears dialtone from Valcom, dials paging zone number via DTMF directly to Valcom.  As always with external connections make sure both the Adtran device and the Valcom are grounded.  For troubleshooting, an analog phone or butt-set should be able to page when connected to the Valcom unit.

voice trunk T10 type analog supervision loop-start

  description "Paging adapter"

  blind-dial  ! <- Allows connection if Valcom dialtone not detected

  connect fxo 0/0

  no reject-external

  match dnis "$" substitute ""  ! <- Strip all outbound digits.

voice grouped-trunk PAGING

  trunk T10

  accept 8888 cost 0 !  <-  8888 is the code to get to the Valcom

OK, I'm getting the FXO interface to go off hook now on calls to the assigned number. Now to test it live, but I'm confident that this will work since that was the hard part. Thanks guys!

By the way, if you are using zones, you can eliminate the two-step dial process as follows...

voice trunk T10 type analog supervision loop-start

  description "Paging adapter"

  blind-dial  ! <- Allows connection if Valcom dialtone not detected

  connect fxo 0/0

  no reject-external

  match dnis "888X" substitute "X"  ! <- Strip all but last digit

voice grouped-trunk PAGING

  trunk T10

  accept 888X cost 0 !  <-  888X is the code to get to the Valcom where X is the zone.
