CUCM PA system

[robert.jubb]

My custermer has a 2 zone PA systems they wish to add to CUCM- i was thinking of adding User dials say 777 or 888 depending on zone, IP phone gets connected to the PA via a VG202. User makes an announcement and hangs up the IP Phone. However ive heard that VG may not work and it would be better using a router with a gateway plus E&M card, and a application server.

Have you got an exmaples of gateway plus E&M card, and a application server for such a deployment

It depends on what connection type your PA system supports, some support station port (VG2XX would work), others support trunk port (FXO) and other both, you can always put in paging adapter from Viking, Bogen, etc.
