Adding Gateways to Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Adding a Cisco VG248 Analog Phone Gateway
The Cisco VG248 Analog Phone Gateway, a standalone, rack-mounted, 48-FXS port product, allows
on-premise analog telephones, fax machines, modems, voice-messaging systems, and speakerphones to
register with one Cisco Unified Communications Manager cluster.
The Cisco VG248 connects to a Cisco Unified Communications Manager by using the Skinny Client
Control Protocol to allow for enhanced features.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager recognizes the Cisco VG248 as a gateway device, called a
“Cisco VG248 Gateway.” Additionally, Cisco Unified Communications Manager treats each of the 48
ports as an individual device, similar to a Cisco Unified IP Phone, called a “Cisco VGC Phone.”
Use the following procedure to add a Cisco VG248 Gateway and to add and configure ports to the
gateway.
