ATA gateway for old telephone devices
Hello, Since I was forced, against my will, to switch to VoIP, I have nothing but problems. Main: that of making all my old phones work, with which I am in love and do not want to part with them under any circumstances. In principle, these devices work, but there are constant bubbles: e.g. bcp signal too weak, suddenly changing to normal. A really old device, the “kitchen” wall-mounted one, has really stopped working, except that, when you pick it up, you can still hear your voice (but you can’t speak). In addition, when unhooked, it blocks all other devices. I made electrical measurements and noticed a (too?) strong drop in current at stall: approx. 3V, while for all other devices this measurement gives 8-10V. I realized that the standard Swisscon router does not provide enough electrical power to operate analog devices, a good woman from the technical department, but who understood nothing at all, kept repeating that it was necessary “ reset” my devices…???… Fortunately, a simple solution to this problem exists in the form of an analog ATA gateway, like Cisco SPA112 ([https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/unified-communications/spa112-2-port-phone-adapter/index.html](https://www.cisco.com/c /en/us/products/unified-communications/spa112-2-port-phone-adapter/index.html)), which generates enough current to operate analog devices. My current problem is: HOW TO CONNECT THIS ADAPTER in relation to the Swisscon installation, given that I have 7 devices distributed throughout a (large) house. My current installation, as carried out by the Swisscon technician, is as follows: copper cable entry - special Swisscon sockets - router. The router, in return, “reinjects” the telephone signal into my home network via the same special socket. HOW to position - connect the Cisco gateway, so that the analog signal it produces is “reinjected” into the entire home network? The Swisscon router does this via the same single cable that connects it to this special jack - so this cable is used in 2 directions, but physically it’s only one, so I can’t fit the Cisco gateway into it. . OR: are there other routers (but I haven’t found any) capable of doing both functions at the same time (analogized VoIP, so to speak and Internet) and which would be accepted and compatible with Swisscon?
