Do you have any network in place between them now? Does the IP Office support Qsig?

I am not sure how and E1 and a PRI would interface, I am sure its been done. An IP connection may be a better solution, I have heard of a Nortel being networked with a Cisco Call manager via IP. I am sure there is a solution with an Avaya product.

Anyone have any other insight on this?

We are going to be installing a 1.5 M pipe between here and England and are going to try VOIP.We did a VC over IP @ 256 but w/o any QOS setup.
I've been talking to my vendor and we are looking into a company called Mediatrix which actually makes a product that may work.Any suggestions are always welcome.
Thanks

Hi there

Have you ever looked at Multitech. They make analog as well as digital VoIP gateways. I believe the Multitech should work if you are implementing VoIP on the WAN link.

I'll check it out and see what they have.

If your WAN network is using Cisco routers supporting VOIP, it would be a much simpler solution. All you have to do is to connect each switch to the routers via the serial module (T1/E1 cards). This may not be in "IP connectivity" scenario but more of a TDM connection, but since you pass thru a WAN network which utilizes Cisco equipments you can set parameters such as QOS and others whcih are important for the voice quality.
