TIPS Analog and VoIP, same device

[gandalf]

Hi everyone,

I have the following setup: a standard analog telephone connected directly to the landline/copper pair provided by the carrier. Calling and receiving work normally.

I need to route VoIP calls from my remote PBX to this phone (even receive-only is fine if that makes things easier), while keeping the direct analog landline fully operational.

If I use a standard VoIP gateway (ATA) and plug the phone into it, the phone becomes "digital/VoIP", but it won't work on the analog line anymore. Is there a device that allows me to handle both?

Thanks!

The simple solution is to call forward the number on the PBX to the analog phone number. Depending on what country you are in, there is a good chance that you will soon lose your analog (copper POTS) line as all things are converted to digital service over fiberoptic to the home.

But i need the opposite: i need to call the analog phone from the VoIP PBX.

My first thinking was to call transfer the analog number to the PBX, the PBX answer but then if I need to call the analog phone from the PBX, i can't because the number has a call transfer on it.

Something like a Grandstream HT813 might work.

Setup the settings in your PBX, and decide under what conditions calls coming into the PBX, are to be forwarded to the phone number of your land line.

Unless there's something I'm missing.
