Re: [asterisk-users] Overhead paging over IP
I have a customer that has two buildings that are connected with a fiber link. We have a single Asterisk server to cover both buildings. Now the customer went and bought an overhead paging system for the remote building and they want to integrate it with Asterisk. Is there a device that can connect over IP or an ATA that has an audio output port? The buildings are about 500 meters apart so we cannot run a cable from one building to the other just for audio. At one customer site I use a linksys ATA setup with auto answer, connect the tip and ring of the FXS port to the audio input of the overhead paging system, works fine. Also at another customer site, the paging guys installed a audio input device that activates when ring voltage hits the line, http://www.valcom.com/v-9970.htm . Installed an ATA, nothing special, call that extension and device brings the ATA off-hook then bam, your passing audio to the paging system. You can pick these up for ~$200.

The phones you are using might support it already (and not even need the system) the grandstreams I have do, but I can't speak for any others.

[asterisk-users] Overhead paging over IP...

I think there are IP speakers out there but if you already have a Bogen or something you may want to go a different route. Polycom phones have a paging feature which is basically just auto answer on speakerphone. I suppose it would be quite easy to wire up the headphone jack on the Polycom to the Bogen (or whatever). A Polycom 301 should work just fine. If I were you, I would try that (but I have two or three 301s just laying around...)

Re: [asterisk-users] Overhead paging over IP...
You can use an inexpensive PC with a sound card. Install Asterisk on it and set an extension that calls /dev/dsp. This will send audio out the speaker port on the sound card. Setup a trunk between this unit and your primary Asterisk server and you should be in business. Bryan M.

Re: [asterisk-users] Overhead paging over IP...
Most of the overhead paging systems I have worked with had an CO input, which worked with the FXO port on an ATA. A couple brands had multiple source options, it is worth checking, I had problems with poor audio quality using the sound card with asterisk.

I did as well using the built-in sound on the motherboard that I was using, switched to a Sound Blaster Live Value card and that problem went away.
