Voice lab PSTN Phone

[Curtis Fuentes]

                   Hi,

   I am building my voice lab at home following the IPexpert. I am unable to get the PSTN phone to work Looking at the configs and topology they provided I am not sure if the phone connect to the PSTN router or the core switch.

it does not matter if your PSTN router have Eth module switch port, you can connect that PSTN Phone and assigning correct vlans so that it can able to communicate.

if you want to use your switch then have that switch port configured with correct vlans where yours PSTN phone connected

Thanks for the response. I guess that where i am confuse The configs provided dont have vlans for the PSTN. Do you have an example config I could use.

Thank you

I haven't looked at their topology but the way I built my PSTN router is by using a CME router connected using T1 PRIs to HQ and BR routers. The Lan connection to the PSTN phone is done via the same POE switch I am using for everything. You just need the PSTN phone in a separate VLAN.

Here is a good link from INE website on how to simulate a PSTN router:
