Connecting
your
Trunks





Trunks
can
be
any
of:
Analog
lines,
PRI,
or
a
T1
with
a
SIP
connection.

Details
of
each
type
are


briefly
discussed
below:





5.0.1
SIP
&
IAX2:
Pure
Voice‐over‐IP


SIP
trunks
are
available
in
most
areas
of
the
country
from
a
variety
of
reputable
companies.

IAX2
is


another
VoIP
protocol
available
from
many
of
the
same
providers
who
sell
SIP
services.

If
possible,


please
have
your
prospective
SIP/IAX2
provider
perform
quality
tests
with
you
before
committing


to
a
contract.

Fonality
Phone
Systems
are
compatible
with
nearly
all
SIP
provider
services.





5.0.2
PRI:
Voice
T1


PRIs
can
be
leased
from
any
number
of
telecom
companies.

PRIs
are
“Voice
T1”
connections
that


have
been
provisioned
with
a
standard
23
voice
channels
and
1
data/signaling
channel
(North


America
only).

PRIs
offer
superior
voice
quality
and
features
like
Caller
ID.







5.0.3
Analog
Lines
–
Old
Friends


Analog
trunks
are,
of
course,
the
most
common
type
of
connection
to
the
PSTN
(Public
Switched


Telephone
Network).

The
Fonality
Phone
System
works
with
all
standard
analog
circuits.





5.2
Connecting
Analog
lines


You
should
now
connect
all
analog
lines
to
the
analog
line
ports
on
the
back
of
your
Fonality
Phone


System.
Be
sure
to
use
the
colored
analog
line
cables
provided
with
your
Fonality
Phone
System.



Normal
analog
phone
cables
will
not
work.
