I have a Western Electric rotary dial phone from ~1930s that I am trying to integrate with a current VoIP Call Control system.

I have an analog to IP converter, and it works to call the phone, but dialing out, the pulse dialing is not understood and need to be converted to tone.

The analog to IP is an ATA converter, made by Cisco. Is anyone aware of a *simple* way to make this work?

TIA

Call processing is CUCM 8.6 FYI
