So I actually need a device which would ACCEPT the dialtone/ring and that would go on the Page Tip/Page Ring contacts. Any Idea what UNA Ringing is? Googling just returns a bunch of Spanish results. Would that broadcast the phone ringing sound over the PA? So connect a normal FXS Port to that?

If you configure an ATA that will actually draw dial tone from a POTS line, then it will work with this paging adapter. I think that would be an FXS config. FXO would give you dial tone from the ATA. Been a very long time since I use the linksys/cisco spa products to extend dial tone over the internet, but they seemed to work fine.

Algo (https://www.algosolutions.com/) and CyberData (https://www.cyberdata.net/collections/sip) are the go to brands for paging equipment that is SIP compatible along with adapters. Viking Electronics (https://www.vikingelectronics.com/) does make a number of items that make it easy to work with old paging systems. I didn't look at the manual, but the RAD-1A (https://www.vikingelectronics.com//products/rad-1a/) from Viking is probably what you are looking for paired with an ATA.

Depending on the layout and configuration of what you are working with you can do certain things with a standard ATA (usually just FXS ports) and certain things with an ATA with an FXO port (these usually have FXS ports as well).

As far as Atheral goes... I won't support trying to jury rig an ATA into these situations typically just because they can be finicky and I can't see how someone is installing something. Although some ATA manufacturers have different terms for configurations that should do what you want, in my experience they typically don't behave the way I'd expect. Algo, CyberData, and Viking make all of this stuff simple so it is just better to go that route.

So I'm not saying it's old.... but this was put in when I was still in High School

Valcom V-2001 paging system. I'm looking to convert the driving phone system over to VoIP.

I've found the manual here. https://www.valcom.com/pdf/v-2001.pdf

It references terms I'm not familiar with. It says 'Compatible with Any Electronic Key or PABX' Does that mean that I can use an ATA to plug into it? Or is this something special?

There are currently wires hooked up to contacts labeled 'Page Tip/Page Ring' And 'UNA Ringing' (2 wires) I"m guessing Page Tip/ring are the 2 wires that would run to the ATA, but what is UNA Ringing?

Anybody hooked one of these up to an ATA before?
