Cisco VG224 24 Port Voice Gateway - VG224

Fully Refurbished and Tested with VG224 24 Port Voice Gateway

The Cisco VG350, VG224, VG204XM, and VG202XM are part of the Cisco IOS software-based VG series stand-alone analog voice gateways. The Cisco VG350 is a high-density 160-port gateway, the Cisco VG224 is a 24-port gateway, and the Cisco VG204XM and VG202XM are low-density 4- and 2-port gateways, respectively.

These gateways connect analog phones, fax machines, modems, and speakerphones to an enterprise voice system based on Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Unified CM). Having these devices tightly integrated with the IP-based phone system is advantageous for increased manageability, scalability, and cost-effectiveness.

The Cisco VG350, VG224, VG204XM, and VG202XM offer Cisco IOS Software manageability on analog phone lines so that you can use them as extensions to your Cisco or 3rd party IP call control solution. The Cisco VG350 and VG224 offer 19-inch rack-mount chassis, and the Cisco VG204XM and VG202XM offer desktop form-factor chasses with a fanless design.

Features and Benefits

Cisco IOS Software-based hardware: The hardware includes uniform Cisco command-line interface (CLI) and Simple Network Management Protocol Version 3 (SNMPv3) support for ease of gateway configuration and operation.

Robust voice quality: Cisco experience in providing toll-quality packet-voice service helps ensure that the Cisco VG350, VG224, VG204XM, and VG202XM provide the clear, robust voice quality end users have come to expect from telephony services.

Investment protection: You can continue to use your existing analog phones, fax machines, and modems while taking advantage of IP telephony. Basic analog phone connectivity is needed when the infrastructure (wiring) or application does not support or require IP phones.

High availability: With these gateways you will experience less voice downtime due to WAN link failure. The Cisco VG350, VG224, VG204XM, and VG202XM have built-in Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) failover to an H.323 connection to a Survivable Remote Site Telephony (SRST) router.

The Cisco VG350 is built on the Cisco Integrated Services Routers Generation 2 (ISR G2) platform powered by high-performance multicore processors. In this platform, you can achieve power redundancy by installing an optional integrated redundant power supply (RPS), which helps decrease network downtime and protects the network from power-supply failures.

Reduced barrier to entry: These analog phone gateways provide a low-cost alternative for low-end analog phones and allow you to take advantage of IP telephony with a lower overall IP telephony investment.
