How to setup an analog phone using Switchvox?

Analog Phone.A regular phone (not VoIP/SIP) that is physically plugged in to the Switchvox server. This is an appropriate extension-type for a fax machine or an intercom.

NOTE:We strongly recommend you do not use this option for your phone extensions. Use instead analog telephone adapters, or a channel bank. If you choose to use Analog Phone extensions with phones physically plugged into Switchvox, those phones will not be able to take full advantage of the Switchvox features.
