Cisco voice gateways interface directly to private branch exchanges (PBXs) or public telephone networks to
carry voice traffic across IP networks by converting IP calls to standard telephony calls, and conversely. They
provide connectivity between packet telephony and traditional telephony such as public switched telephone
network (PSTN), private branch exchanges (PBXs), fax machines, and other devices.
Cisco VG200 Series Gateways provide:
• High-density gateways for centralized deployments of analog phones, fax machines, modems, voicemail
systems, and speakerphones
• Low-density gateways for distributed deployments of analog phones, fax machines, modems, and
speakerphones
• A broad range of features for enterprise voice systems based on Cisco Unified Communications Manager or
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express
Cisco offers the Cisco VG202 and VG204 (low density), and the VG224 and VG248 (high density) dedicated
analog voice gateways. The full line of Cisco access and integrated routers can also add analog and digital voice
gateway functions through the use of network modules and voice interface cards.
Key Features
• Cisco VG202 and VG204 Analog Phone Gateways
- 2 and 4 full-featured analog phone lines, respectively, for use as extensions to Cisco Unified
Communications Manager or Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express systems in a desktop form
factor with a fanless design.
- Based on a Cisco IOS Software platform, the Cisco VG204 and Cisco VG202 offer identical functions and
support similar network topologies as the Cisco VG224.
• Cisco VG224 Analog Phone Gateway
- High-density, 24-port Cisco IOS Software gateway for analog phones, fax machines, modems, and
speakerphones within an enterprise voice system based on Cisco Unified Communications Manager or
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express.
- Integration with the IP-based phone system increases manageability, scalability, and cost-effectiveness.
- Commercial businesses can use the Cisco VG224 in conjunction with Cisco Unified Communications
Manager Express to effectively augment an integrated services router environment.
- With Cisco Unified Communications Manager or Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express, the
Cisco VG224 can provide supplementary analog services while using the Cisco IOS Software gateway for
reliable fax and modem delivery.
• Cisco VG248 48-Port Analog Phone Gateway
- 1-unit-high, rack-mountable device allowing 48 analog devices (phones, fax machines, and modems) to be
used with Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
- Organizations with large numbers of analog phones can deploy IP telephony while maintaining the
investment in traditional handsets. The analog lines are full-featured, with caller ID, message waiting lights,
and feature codes. The price per port is competitive with a traditional private branch exchange (PBX).
- Supports the traditional voicemail Simple Message Desk Interface (SMDI) voicemail interface that allows the
connection of a Cisco Unified Communications Manager network to a traditional voicemail system. It also
allows the sharing of existing SMDI-based voicemail systems between the Cisco Unified Communications
Manager and the traditional PBX.
