Does anyone have an (overhead) paging system that they like that works with SIP? We've got a client with an old paging system that (supposedly) just takes an rj11 POTS connection, but when we put an SPA Cisco adapter on it, it doesn't auto-answer the call, so paging never happens.

How did the page system answer the call when it was used with the analog system? You could propably fake those signals from inside asterisk, and cause it to answer.

It worked on the old system. I am open to suggestions, but don't want (or have the option) to add a TDM card.

>>> Does anyone have an (overhead) paging system that they like that works with SIP?Our old phone system back ends into a Bogen AMP. I'm in the process of replacing that system (Meridian) with Asterisk and found that the snom PA1 works very well. If an AMP is involved, this might work. http://wiki.snom.com/File:Snom_pa1.png Doug

You need more than an ATA. You need something with an FSO and FXO. I've used Linksys/SPA3102-3.3.6 and been happy with it.

Then a Cisco or other ATA that would work to supply service to a POTS phone should work OR: Does it expect to see a POTS connection from a PBX trunk, and supply battery TO the trunk? Then you would need a Cisco or other ATA with an FXO connection. Both types of paging systems have been made and both styles of connections have existed through the last 30 + years, and since you haven't revealed the brand and model of paging system it makes troubleshooting difficult.
