Bilal, I don't think anyone is telling you that digital phones don't need cards.
I do think they are telling you that NOBODY makes a card that drives digital phones for use with Asterisk. Your initial assumption that Digital phones work with Asterisk is untrue. They can be made (forced?) to work using a CITEL gateway, which communicates with Asterisk via SIP and ethernet, but only for phones from a handful of manufacturers. Previous posts cast doubt on the results you can expect. I don't know how to say this any more clearly. I too am Avaya certified and I have no illusions about using Avaya or Nortel digital phones with Asterisk. On 5/10/07, bilal ghayyad <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi List; As I know from AVAYA (I am AVAYA certified) that digital phones are connected to digital cards and it does not go through ethernet switches at all, digital phones should be independent on the ethernet network, so if the network down, these phones will start working, it will be totally isolated from the data traffic. So, how that come the digital phones does not need a card for it? Also, how it will use ethernet switches! It does not work with IP Packets. Any one can advise.
