Is there an ATA type device out there that has low level audio out for connecting speakers? My asterisk server is in one building, I wish to have speakers in another building and connect them up to a low level audio device that I can call into and speak. Can I connect speakers into the FXS or FXO of a grandstream HT 503? Does that work? I'd prefer not to have a PC setting there (sound card output) ... I just want a small ATA type device. Thanks, Jerry
Look at Valcom or Viking. They make the paging hardware hat interfaces with FXO or FXS....> -----Original Message----- > From: asterisk-users-bounces at lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users- > bounces at lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Jerry Geis > Sent: Monday, December 22, 2008 11:22 AM > To: asterisk-users at lists.digium.com > Subject: [asterisk-users] question on connecting speakers > > Is there an ATA type device out there that has low level audio out for > connecting speakers? > > My asterisk server is in one building, I wish to have speakers in > another building > and connect them up to a low level audio device that I can call into and > speak. > > Can I connect speakers into the FXS or FXO of a grandstream HT 503?

BT200 set to auto-answer which will turn-on speakerphone mode... Gordon
We sell BT200's premodified for this exact purpose. We install an RCA/Phono jack on the back so you can connect the phone directly to your overhead paging equipment. They also have a toggle switch for moving between the chassis speakerphone and the external jack. We're currently using these in a number of schools that have Rauland paging systems and they work wonderfully. Tim Nelson Systems/Network Support Rockbochs Inc.
