The phone system sends call information, MWI requests, and voice connections through the analog lines, which connect the phone system to the PIMG units. The PIMG units communicate with the Cisco Unity server through the LAN or WAN by using Session Initiation Protocol SIP. Figure 6-13 shows the connections for a DTMF integration by using analog PIMG units
