Yes, you CAN use your existing Meridian phones. There is a product
called a Handset Gateway that converts traditional digital PBX
telephones (Norstar, Meridian, Definity, NEC, etc) into SIP signaling so
the existing phones and wiring can work with *. It's a heck of a lot
cheaper than buying new IP phones (plus the LAN upgrade to power them),
and you still get all the features of the digital phones (speakerphone,
message waiting indicator, feature buttons, etc). Also, it makes the
conversion a lot simpler because users don't have to learn how o use a
new phone and you don't have to go around to all the desks and swap the
phones. Handset Gateways are available from Mitel, 3Com, Lucent
(Lucent, not Avaya), and Citel Technologies. I think only the Lucent and
Citel ones work with * though. Check it out and save yourself a
bunch-o-headache.
I'm looking for a Gateway that works with ESI 16-key digital handsets... anyone out there heard of one?
