Alcatel Lucent Advanced Communications Server porte audio e dati

Legacy analog devices like fax machines, modems, and standard telephones often become stranded when businesses migrate to IP-based communication systems. The Alcatel-Lucent Advanced Communications Server Audio and Data Ports module bridges that gap, delivering 16 analog subscriber line (FXS) interfaces directly into your OmniPCX Enterprise Communication Server. This chassis-mounted line card brings traditional voice endpoints into a unified communications environment, preserving your investment in analog equipment while enabling advanced call control and management.

Who is it for

This module is ideal for enterprises running Alcatel-Lucent OmniPCX Enterprise systems that need to support analog devices such as POTS phones, G3 fax machines, and dial-up modems. It suits organizations in hospitality, healthcare, retail, and manufacturing where analog endpoints remain common, or where fax and modem connectivity is still required for regulatory or operational reasons.

Main features

• 16 analog FXS ports for connecting standard telephones, fax machines, and modems.
• Supports loop start and ground start signaling protocols for broad device compatibility.
• Configurable line impedance (600 Ohm, 900 Ohm, complex) to match various line conditions.
• Caller ID support via FSK and DTMF for incoming call identification.
• Integrated echo cancellation compliant with G.168 for clear voice quality.
• Overvoltage protection safeguards the module and connected devices.
• LED indicators for status and port activity simplify monitoring and troubleshooting.
• Managed through the OmniPCX Enterprise system for unified configuration and diagnostics.

Tips

To connect analog devices, use a standard RJ-45 breakout panel or cable to split the module's ports into individual line jacks. Ensure the line impedance setting matches your local telephone line characteristics for optimal performance. For fax and modem applications, disable echo cancellation on those specific ports if you experience transmission issues. Always install the module in a compatible OmniPCX Enterprise chassis slot and verify the system software version supports this hardware.
