Yep, found it in an old NEC PABX manual. UNA Unattended Night Answer / Night Service /Night Ring
You have two inputs to trigger the ringing tone: 1) contact closure to the UNA terminals 2) apply ringing voltage to the UNA ring terminals. So a FXO IAD could do that.

Not sure now to answer your questions though. Is the customer asking for a night answering capability? You’d think these days that need would be met in a different way, like send incoming calls to voicemail/email or a cellphone outside of business hours. Even the idea of speakers with music and pages seems very old-timey. I guess I see it in grocery stores, with music and announcements like “cleanup in aisle 6”.

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?

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.

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.

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? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
