Cisco Hoot and Holler over IP

Hoot and Holler over IP Overview

You can connect voice multicasting telephones to routers in the following ways:

Connect a four-wire E&M telephone, which has no dial and is always off-hook, directly to an E&M voice interface card that is installed in a voice network module. Configure the E&M interface for four-wire trunk operation. For information about configuring E&M interfaces, see the chapter “Configuring Voice Ports” in this configuration guide.

Connect a conventional telephone to a PBX that is connected to an E&M voice interface card.

Connect a conventional telephone to an FXS voice interface card that is installed in a voice network module.

Connect a conventional telephone to a PBX that is connected through a E1/T1 line to a multiflex trunk interface card that is installed in a high-density voice network module.

Note The voice multicasting feature supports only one E1/T1 line per high-density voice network module.
