ATA Software Features
Introducing Linksys Analog Telephone Adapters
Signaling Hook Flash
Event
The Linksys ATA device can signal hook flash events to the remote party on a
connected call. This feature can be used to provide advanced mid-call
services with third-party-call-control. Depending on the features that the
service provider offers using third-party-call-control, the following Linksys
ATA features may be disabled to correctly signal a hook-flash event to the
softswitch:
•
Call Waiting Service (parameter
call waiting serv
set in the Line tab)
•
Three Way Conference Service (parameter
three-way conf serv
set in the
Line tab)
•
Three Way Call Service (parameter
three-way call serv
set in the Line tab)
You can configure the length of time allowed for detection of a hook flash
using the Hook Flash Timer parameter on the Regional tab of the
administration web server. See
”Linksys ATA Voice Field Reference,” on
page 94
.
Configurable Dial Plan
with Interdigit Timers
The Linksys ATA device has three configurable interdigit timers:
Initial timeout (T)—Signals that the handset is off the hook and that no digit
has been pressed yet.
Long timeout (L)—Signals the end of a dial string; that is, no more digits are
expected.
Short timeout (S)—Used between digits; that is after a digit is pressed a short
timeout prevents the digit from being recognized a second time.
See
”Configuring Dial Plans,” on page 49
for more information.
Polarity Control
The Linksys ATA device allows the polarity to be set when a call is connected
and when a call is disconnected. This feature is required to support some pay
phone system and answering machines. Polarity Control is configured in the
Line and PSTN Line tabs. See
”Linksys ATA Voice Field Reference,” on page 94
.
Calling Party Control
Calling Party Control (CPC) signals to the called party equipment that the
calling party has hung up during a connected call by removing the voltage
between the tip and ring momentarily. This feature is useful for auto-answer
equipment, which then knows when to disengage. CPC is configured in the
Regional, Line, and PSTN Line tabs. See
”Linksys ATA Voice Field Reference,”
on page 94
.
Report Generation and
Event Logging
The Linksys ATA device reports a variety of status and error reports to assist
service providers to diagnose problems and evaluate the performance of
their services. The information can be queried by an authorized agent, using
HTTP with digested authentication, for instance. The information may be
organized as an XML page or HTML page. Report Generation and Event
Logging are configured in the System, Line, and PSTN Line tabs. See
”Linksys
ATA Voice Field Reference,” on page 94
.
Syslog and Debug
Server Records
Syslog and Debug Sever Records log more details than Report Generation
and Event Logging. Using the configuration parameters, the Linksys ATA
device allows you to select which type of activity/events should be logged.
Syslog and Debug Server allow the information captured to be sent to a
Syslog Server. Syslog and Debug Server Records are configured in the
System, Line, and PSTN Line tabs. See
”Linksys ATA Voice Field Reference,” on
page 94
