How to setup VOIP for a small branch office

I have a small branch office of about 5 people. I have some extra Cisco VOIP phones form our headquarter office in Chesapeake. I would like to incorporate our phone system now at this office. DO I pnly need a gateway?

You just need a router and a switch for connecting the phones.
The phones will register to the call manager at your headquarter.
Ideally you should have an SRST site in case WAN goes down. However it will cost you licence fees etc.

I assume you have a Cisco Call Manager. You should create a new device pool, region, location etc for your remote site. Your router at remote site should provide the IP addresses to your phones. Make sure you configure DHCP option 150 to point to your TFTP server at the central site.
