FXO support in the VG310

[keith.blake]

May all 24 ports in a VG310 be configured as FXO? I haven't been able to find any documentation on this.

Would like to know if this is possible before purchasing one.

Thank you.

VG310 is an analog GW with 24 FXS ports, and can accommodate additional EHWIC slow available to accommodate either 2,4 port FXO, FXS, VWIC:

from data sheet:

The VG310 and VG320 can support foreign exchange office (FXO), foreign exchange station (FXS), T1/E1 Primary Rate Interface (PRI), channel associated signaling (CAS), and Basic Rate Interface (BRI) 2- and 3-port voice interface cards (Cisco VIC2 and VIC3, respectively).

Thanks for the clarification Chris... are you aware on any options within Cisco IPT that provides for 24 FXO ports via RJ21?

[Chris Deren · Accepted solution]

The only option is to get a Router (39XX, 44XX, etc) and load it up with EVM, FXO cards.

Is there no opportunity to convert the POTS lines to PRI or SIP trunk?

Unfortunately this is in Asia PAC and the carrier refuses to port the numbers to a PRI circuit. The client is not willing to change DIDs.

Thanks for you prompt responses.

Have a great 2016!
