Choosing a Voice Gateway Solution
.. Determining the right voice gateway solutions will depend on a number
of factors, from the size and scale of the organization to the budget.
.. Solutions from a switch point-of-view would include, the Catalyst 4000,
4224/4248, and 6000 family. If you wish to use routers, you should
choose from the following: the 1750, 2600, 3600, 3810, 7200, and 7500
Series. Access servers may be best in some instances, including the
AS5300, the AS5400, and the AS5800. Cisco DT-24, DE-30, and VG-
200 would suffice for standalone protocol solutions.
.. For small- to mid-sized companies looking for a nice all-in-one
solution, the ICS 7750, deployed with a Catalyst 3524XL-PWR switch
and Cisco IP phones, would do wonderfully.
.. The DPA 7610/7630 Voice Mail Gateway would be another important
element of an AVVID solution. It provides a gateway allowing legacy
voice mail systems to communicate with Cisco CallManagers.
