About the Voice Gateways

Cisco VG202, Cisco VG202XM, Cisco VG204, and Cisco VG204XM voice gateways deliver analog voice gateways for the service provider as well as commercial and enterprise unified communication markets. These voice gateways provide voice connectivity to devices such as analog phones, fax machines, and modems.

Cisco VG202, Cisco VG202XM, Cisco VG204, and Cisco VG204XM voice gateways provide support for 2-FXS (Cisco VG202 and Cisco VG202XM) and 4-FXS (Cisco VG204 and Cisco VG204XM) ports, each supporting independent telephone numbers giving you two or four separate lines, and parity with Cisco IOS fax/modem, security, and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) features. Both voice gateways are configurable with Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) & Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express (CUCME).

Note Cisco VG202, Cisco VG202XM, Cisco VG204, and Cisco VG204XM voice gateways are fixed voice gateways and do not support interface cards.

Port Numbering Conventions

The Cisco VG202 voice gateway supports two RJ-11 ports and supports two FXS voice ports with two 10/100 Fast Ethernet ports. Figure 1-1shows the interfaces and ports on the Cisco VG202 voice gateway. All interface ports are on the back of the chassis.
