About This Item
The Cisco VG410 Medium-Density Analog Voice Gateway enables an IP telephony solution to continue using traditional analog devices while taking advantage of the productivity afforded by IP infrastructure. The Cisco Unified Communications portfolio of voice and IP communications products and applications enables organizations to communicate more effectively, helping them to streamline business processes, reach the right resource the first time, and improve revenue sales and profitability. The Cisco Unified Communications portfolio is a critical part of the Cisco Business Communications Solution, an integrated solution for organizations of all sizes that also includes network infrastructure; security and network management products; wireless connectivity; and a lifecycle services approach, along with flexible deployment and outsourced management options, end-user and partner financing packages, and third-party communications applications. The Cisco VG410 Medium-Density Analog Gateway (Figure 1) is a Cisco IOS-XE Software-based analog phone gateway. It connects analog phones, fax machines, modems, and speakerphones to an enterprise voice system based on Cisco Unified Communications Manager (UCM). The tight integration with the IP-based phone system is advantageous for increased manageability, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. Businesses can also use the Cisco VG410 with Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express to effectively augment an Integrated Services Router (ISR) environment. Either topology environment will support business needs for high concentration of analog voice ports for modem calls, fax calls, and analog supplementary services (Figures 2 and 3). The Cisco VG410 offers Cisco IOS-XE Software manageability on analog phone lines to enable them to be used as extensions to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager or Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express system. The Cisco VG410 is offered in a 1-Rack Unit (1RU), 19-inch rack-mount chassis form.
