Does it make any difference if you call it an analog line or an analog port/extension? I have a customer with an IP Office system with analog ports. They are trying to connect a Valcom door box system to it. I just had a call from their telecom/IT guy and he said the IP Office vendor wanted to know whether it was an extension or a line. In my experience you could program it as either when it enters the Avaya system. It has very similar properties. Line voltage and ring voltage. I would think the only difference would be how the Office system handles it. Steve

Yes, there are analog line ports then there are analog extension ports on the IPO.

What would be your recomendation? Set it as a line or a port? Thanx Steve

If I am reading your post correctly the IP Office vendor is asking the person installing the Valcom what they want.
A line port or a extension port.

telecom/IT guy... said the IP Office vendor

Forgive me, but with that brain trust where do you fit in?

Fuzzyone45,
You can't program Analog extension to be an Analog line neither you can program Analog line to become an extension o IPOffice. They all have a specific Module for it and Valcom requires an CO line port to be connected and programmed as a Door phone.

Thanks Vad. That's what I thought. That is what they are going to install. Steve

You can use either trunk or analog extension. The important question is, what did they purchase? If they have a door phone controller, or just a door phone....

Either will work, but what are equipment are they trying to make work????
