Cisco IP Paging System: When and How to Integrate with an Existing System



When is it a good time for an organization to think about making that transition to IP Paging? You know if they have a bunch of buildings that have analog systems in place, can they upgrade in place now?

Yeah, so there’s a few different ways to look at it. The right time, when you see the most cost savings, is when you’re remodeling a facility, if you’re constructing new facilities, IP speakers definitely fits into a cost savings model at that point.

If you have existing analog technology, we can take advantage of that. So we don’t say you have rip and replace and start all over. Take advantage of what you have, retrofit, and if you need to add supplement using IP or network paging, it’s very easy to do with our products, you can still have your traditional analog system.

But if you realize at one point, “Geez, we really wish we had a speaker in this facility at the entry way,” it’s very easy to add that. to that facility and take advantage of all at one time. So, it can be done multiple ways. So, in practical terms, we go into a closet with a network cable, plug in a box that’s connected to the network and then out of that, connect to your analog system.

Exactly. And that can be done multiple ways. It can be done through IP zone controllers and they can also be done through a station port or a trump port from your PBX to access that system. So, if it already had a connection to your telephone system, we can take advantage of that and utilize any existing connections too but, a number of different options.
