atcomsystems.ca/forum Forums General General Telephone & Systems Information VOIP using CISCO

We have a Mitel SX200 LW15. We want to network via a frame relay
connection to another similar Mitel system.

Our questions are as follows"

1) Shall we tell users to dial an extension or dial the remote office
phone number as they normally do (9+1 XXX XXX XXXX).

2) I can see how the ARS would handle the normal dialing, use a list,
1st use the VOIP, then T1, then LS/GS trunks.. However, Will the
cisco FXO input produce a dialtone as if it were a trunk? I've also
seen FXS inputs where If I understand correctly, the cisco port is an
analog extension.

3) If I understand correctly, when the CISCO FXS/FXO port detects
dtmf, it analyzes the number and then sends a signal to ring the
appropriate router port at the remote site. If it doesn't analyze the
number, can you always associate a certain FXS/FXO port with a remote
router (site).

I am not CISCO literate at all, my responsibilities will be the PBX
but I want to discuss this with the MIS dep't intelligently

Your input is highly appreciated
