Thanks!I was concerned about the 400 box being compatable with an analog line.I have an analog switch to rout calls.I have a ADSL modem connected to the line before the switch to connect to the Internet.I am assuming that the incoming and outgoing skype calls would be digitally routed directly to and from the 400 handset by the 400 box. Using the 400 handset to place PSTN calls is convenience if it works but of little interest. I have a wireless network. I am thinking that a skype phone like the Netgear SPH200W WiFi Phone with Skype or similar might be a better solution. However, from what I have seen on the net they are not very mature.Any suggestions?

The analog connection will work with any existing phone system that support analog phones. On the VoIP side which you're alluring to, the phone supports SIP registration for which all existing VoIP PBXes should support. I've not tested your specific configuration, though all indications are that it will work.

No, this unit requires an active file server connection to a computer, etc on your LAN or via Polycom's servers - this unit will not operate as a normal Analog or Digital conferencing unit. Call 520-888-7888 for some ideas about what you may need. -Yada Yada Telecom

Hello Christopher, We do not see why it would not work as long as you have a physical handset and not a digital computer phone. The usual line you would plug into your phone would go in to this unit and then there is another port to plug your phone in to this unit making this unit the middle man between the actual phone line wire and your handset base. The line will push this product to ring then pushing the signal into your phone for you to answer the call. We have included a link from the manufacture which shows the installation guide in order to make it more clear in photo. http://www.cortelco.com/manual/ringer_install.pdf Thank You Daily Drops Team

I haven't done any real research on that but it seem that is not possible. As the "connection" of the handset to the Internet or your standard line is made wireless to a base, which cannot be accesed by software... I understand your question but i'm not sure about the possibility of using a different handset... at least you can use a "headset" as it have standard plug for that on the phone :P

I think you're asking whether the unit will work with a digital VOIP phone connected through, for example, a cable modem. I don't know. I haven't tried it. There's no distinction made in the manual between a regular POTS land line and a digital line. I've seen one review saying it did not work with a digital line, but you can't go by one review. Digital lines vary -- for example, some will work with a regular fax machine and others won't. You probably have to test it on your particular system.

It worked on a digital phone, portable handset. Not sure about an analog phone.

Nunz - They wouldn't. You need to buy a system with a base and at least two handsets. If you only want an intercom, you would not have to connect the base to a telephone line.

No, just a normal twisted pair that you would hook up to any other analog phone. The bells on the top front are only decoration (not that you would need an extra electrical hook up for working bells to normally ring, but not sure why you were asking).

From Cisco. Voice Gateways and Analog Telephone Adapters (ATAs), you can attach your analog and cordless digital (DECT) phones, as well as fax machines, to a VoIP service with an IP telephony service provider (ITSP).

There's nothing on this phone to be analog or digital except maybe the ringtone. No answering machine, no speaker phone, just a simple plug in to the phone outlet and you're done. Works great.

Has anyone tried to register a Phillips handset with a CIT400 (they are the least expensive out of Linksys, Netgear, and Phillips)?

This is a digital phone and was not compatible with our older analog system. We had to return them.

I am using it on an analog line, so can not answer your question exactly, but the product information states that it does support SIP as well: http://www.polycom.com/products-services/voice/conferencing-solutions/conferencing-phones/soundstation-duo.html (On the 'technical specifications' tab they have a link to supported SIP platforms.) The 'Duo' name is because it supports both analog and IP voice solutions. If you have not already, you may want to call VoIPCheap and ask them specifically if their service supports this phone directly (without any other hardware), or if it still requires a seperate SIP router. Wish I could help more.

It all depends on the phone system you're using. Most phone systems have a way to convert the digital signal to analog. Contact the people who installed your phone system and they should be able to help you.

I can't recall. I don't believe so. But connecting the phone line is very easy to do.
