remote extension off Panasonic system

Hi,

I'm trying to provision a remote worker off a Panasonic system (without using the Pasonic VoIP cards). I have been told roughly that if I had a Linksys 3000 on the systems side hanging off an analogue extension this could then be used in conjunction with 1000 at the other end to accept the calls that are placed to the analogue extension at the head office.

Has anyone got experience of setting up this kind of scenario that could lend some pearls of wisdom ?

Welcome to Voipuser

There have been quite a few request of this type. What you ask is possible and even relatively simple - sort of an intercom phone with a long wire.

If you search for "intercom" you will find solutions there that may apply to your needs. Have a look at this one in particular

Also, get the manuals for the SPA3000 from the Sipura site to see exactly what the devices can do. However, you may prefer to buy the Linksys SPA3102 which is the more current version of the 3000. (Linksys purchased Sipura).

thanks I'll have a good read through that once my 3102 arrives tomorrow.[/img]

Unless things have changed the manual that you get with the 3102 will be of little help. Things are improving with Linksys documentation but I think the information manual/FAQs for the SPA 3000 is still the best reading for the 3102 (most of it applies to the 3102 as well).

I now have my lovely new shiny spa3102 and a pap2 (plus a Panasonic KX-TDA15).

Scenario is a follows,

1. SPA3102 is configured on an IP address of 192.168.1.175
2. FXO port of SPA3102 is plugged into a hybrid port on the KX-TDA15 (extension number 208)
3. If I dial 208 it rings engaged and if I check out the SPA3102 it shows off the hook.
4. PAP2 is on 192.168.1.176 and had and has an analogue handset plugged into the 1st port.

What I want to happend is the analogue phone ring on the PAP2 when a call is placed to extensions 208 on the panasonic i.e. the 3102 to pass the call to the PAP2.

I also want the phone on the PAP2 to be able to dial other extensions on the PBX and to be able to make outbound calls through the PBX.

I have read through the article on passing calls between 2 3102s however at the moment I really can't see the wood for the trees



Someone please HHHHEEEEEEELLLLLLPPPPPP before I go insane

Hi

OK unplug the spa from the pana.

Check 208 now rings.

From memory the hybid ports wire oddly.

You will need to check the fxo setting of the spa as the pana will be 24v not 48v so may not be seen as an onhook voltage

I'm still looking at this and I can make the extension 208 ring by plugging the line from the 3102 into the hybrid port on the tda15 and plugging the handset into the extension port of the 3102. That may not be muhc of an achievement but after playing around with this for the last few days it certainly feels like it

However what I really need to be able to do is get thew 3102 to forward all calls coming into it over to the pap2 and have the analogue handset plugged into that. Also once I can do this I need to be able to do the reverse and make it so that the handset of the pap2 can be picked up and make calls into the pbx to other extensions and also make calls out via the PBX

In general, with the 3102 you can only pass calls from Voip -> PSTN (or equivalent) OR PSTN (or equivalent) -> Voip. Incoming PSTN calls can be passed to Voip and then on to a PAP2. Incoming (voip) calls on the PAP2 can be passed over to the 3102. That seems to work OK. If you do not have PSTN or an input that emulates PSTN (voltages etc) then you will have problems. It looks like the nature of your PBX really is the problem with its hybrid connector.

This may not be a voltage problem , I think it is a knowledge problem from my side. I'm not happy that I have understood the tutorial on configuring the 2 3102's enough to adapt this to a 3102 and pap2 scenario. Could anyone please give me 'idiot proof' (yes I fell like on at the moment) instructions on call pass through from the 3102 to pap2. If I get those and try it and get no joy then we might be back to a voltage problem however at the moment I just think I'm getting lost in the config.

Getting lost in the configuration is real easy for the 3102.
On the 3102
Make sure that "PSTN Line" is enabled.
Make sure that "VoIP-To-PSTN Gateway Setup" and "PSTN-To-VoIP Gateway Setup is enabled"

For PSTN -> voip you can set up a dialplan something like

(<:pathtoPAP2>S0 ) so that an incoming call on the PSTN line get passed directly to voip and the PAP2

(this does work on my 3102 with a regular PSTN line)

Likewise
For voip -> PSTN
This can happen in several ways (p 54 in the manual)
But with the default setting and if you change
Call Forward Settings/Cfwd No Ans Dest to @gw0
then incoming calls on the voip line should get transferred after a few rings to PSTN.

There are lots of extra things that can be done but that is about the simplest arrangement and it works on my setup.

I hope that helps.
