Chapter 1: Overview
Introduction
A G10 PSTN gateway has four Foreign Exchange Office (FXO) ports that provide your one-X
Quick Edition network with access to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) through
PSTN lines managed by your telephone service provider.
Figure 1
shows the position of a G10 PSTN gateway in a typical company telephone network.
Up to ten G10 PSTN gateways can be connected to your one-X Quick Edition network if
required to increase the number of PSTN connections into your office.
Figure 1: Typical one-X Quick Edition Network Configuration
A typical configuration consists of a customer-supplied 10/100 Base-T Ethernet Local Area
Network (LAN) with a connected IP router or switch, to which the G10 PSTN gateway and your
telephones are connected. An administration computer may be connected to the network to
provide web-based access to G10 PSTN gateway configuration settings.
If your 4610SW/4621SW IP telephones are already connected to the LAN, adding a G10 PSTN
gateway to the system is easy. Simply connect the G10 PSTN gateway LAN port to an unused
port on the IP router or switch, and connect the G10 PSTN gateway FXO ports to the PSTN
lines supplied by your service provider. When the IP router or switch is IETF 802.3af Power
over Ethernet (PoE) enabled, power is delivered to the G10 PSTN gateway through the router
or switch, and the G10 PSTN gateway configures itself automatically.
Note:
Note:
If your LAN is not PoE enabled, you can use the supplied 12 VDC/1A power
adapter to supply power to the G10 PSTN gateway.
