Call Progress Tones (SPA3102 and SPA8800)
The SPA3102 and the SPA8800 have configurable call progress tones. Call
progress tones are generated locally on the ATA, so an end user is advised of
status (such as ringback). Parameters for each type of tone (for instance a dial tone
played back to an end user) may include the following specifications:
•
Number of frequency components
•
Frequency and amplitude of each component
•
Cadence information
When one VoIP account is shared between the FXS and PSTN Lines, the following
parameters are recommended to be set. For more information, see the Regional
page in the
“ATA Voice Field Reference,” on page 115
.

Call Progress Tone
Description
VoIP PIN Tone
This tone is played to prompt a VoIP caller to enter a PIN number.
PSTN PIN Tone
This tone is played to prompt a PSTN caller to enter a PIN
number.
Outside Dial Tone
During two-stage PSTN-gateway dialing and with a dial plan
assigned, the ATA device collects digits from the VoIP caller and
processes the number using the dial plan. The ATA device plays
the
Outside Dial Tone
to prompt the VoIP caller to enter the
PSTN number. This tone should be specified to sound different
from the PSTN dial tone.
