Solved: FXS-to-FXO port behavior

Aaron Dhiman · ‎10-11-2007

I don't get how an FXO port connected to an FXS port can distinguish the DNIS. Shouldn't the FXS port just apply ringing voltage to the FXO port without any DNIS passing?

Here is the scenario:

VoIPphone------(gateway)FXS----FXO(PBX)----phone

VoIP phone dials 266-XXXX. It goes over H.323 to the gateway which connects a POTS dial-peer on a FXS port. That FXS port is connected to an FXO port on a PBX. Somehow, that PBX is able to distingues what the extensions are after 266-XXXX and directly route the call. How is that possible??

Hi,

the router has no problem in sending tones out of an FXS port. The same is not true for most PBXs. You can also send caller-id from the router, if the PBX is able to use it.

destination-pattern 266.... is "better" than 266 because the router will not present calls to PBX when less that 7 digits are coming from voip. Of course you can also enforce this check on the origination router.

Hi,

DP 2660 should have destination-pattern 266....

Then router should be sending the 4 digits to pbx after it seize the line. You need to configure the pbx so that it uses them to ring t extension. You can verify this with "debug vpm signal" and "debug vtsp tone".

hope this helps, please rate post if it does!

Hi, thanks for the response. The strange this is that it is working as it is configured.

My question is why does it work? If an FXS port should act as the Central Office, it should not be sending digits to the PBX right (just ring voltage)?

BTW, result of the debug is:

I have to correct myself partially. You can use destination-pattern 266.... on the origination router. On the termination router, indeed you need 266 for the "excess digits" to be played on the FXS port.

Thanks for the nice rating and good luck!
