 Posted: Fri Apr 11, 2008 5:32 pm Post subject: [asterisk-users] Asterisk and the Mitel SX 200 integration |
 |
|
Hi. One of my clients has an old Mitel SX 200 with a separate
computer doing the voicemail and auto attendant and integrated via a
COV card which is in his case an ISA card! We would all like to
migrate to asterisk, but as a first step, can asterisk integrate into
the Mitel, so it can serve as auto attendant and the voicemail for the
extensions?
If this is successful we could gradually migrate extensions,
particularly if we could get the Mitel to talk to asterisk via one of
its t1 cards.
Any assistance or experience along these lines would be appreciated.

We've got a client with the exact same setup.
They have suffered long enough with this
dinosaur. They are in the process of going
with an all-Asterisk system.
You would probably make more money trying an
intermediate step using the SX-200 and Asterisk,
but it would be obviously more costly for them
as well as prolong their misery.
It's your call, but I would recommend getting
away from 30 year old technology as fast as
you can run. The ActiveVoice system is a
cantankerous 20 year old system in itself.
You have just received 2 cents worth of advice
for FREE!

Yep, you guessed it, an activvoice system. Anyway to make Asterisk
act like that for a while?
Thanks.

I second Doug advice. Migrate to Asterisk asap.
We have several Asterisk auto attendant "integrated" with Mitel, even
billing using the Mitel's smdr. But voicemail is different. The COV card
emulate a SS4 phone and receive information needed for a voice mail
system. With FXO/FXS ports is not possible receive such information.

Jorge is correct you will not get the information need via FXO/FXS
unless you program the Mitel to do DTMF inband. It is possible but a
cludge of a fix at best. We have successfully integrated several Mitel
SX200 and SX2000 switches via the PRI (preferred) or T1 using E&M_Wink
(works but you have delays while waiting for the winks. (wink, wink 
).
The Mitel is rock-solid and depending on the size of the install a
fork-lift replacement may not be desirable. I would start by replacing
the VM (ActiveVoice) with and Asterisk box, you can give them unified
messaging as well as a stable and current platform ( I have seen the
Octel COV card catch on fire!!)

OK, this is exactly what I would like to do, can you either write me
on or off list for further details. This would be the first baby step
toward the 20th Century!!

We and the customer are anxiously awaiting the
day we can sell that SX-200 and the ActiveVoice
system to some poor unsuspecting souls.
An Asterisk box can be made out of high-quality
generic parts that are easily available.

I'd love some pointers on integrating * with a sx-200. I have a system
where a fork lift upgrade is impossible. Ideally as we add new
extensions, I'd like them to be in *, and have the mitel system know to
route the calls correctly. I have a manual for the sx and a few half
baked thoughts (put the pstn on *, and have the mitel system send all
unknown numbers to *. Then * can route them properly to the outside
world or to the new extensions), but it will be slow going.
Thanks. |
