FXO modules are often used to connect analog lines to an IPBX. In order to know if you need FXO connectivities on your gateway, you can visit our website.
Here are the steps to configure a FXO gateway:
Go to the "Hardware" tab and choose the country in which the gateway is being installed.
Three other modes can also be chosen: FCC, TBR21, 1TR100_DE.
First, choose the right country mode. If you notice issues on the line, try one of the three above mentioned modes until it works well.
Once you have chosen the right mode, save your settings. You can either activate the configuration directly or do it at the end.
FXO Gateways can be configured in two different ways. We call them "Hunt group configuration" or "Single trunk configuration".
Single trunk configuration:
In a single trunk configuration scenario, each analog line is completely independent from each other and need to be configured on its own. This means:
In the configuration of each port, the DID needs to be specified in order for the gateway to send the right information to the IPBX.
In a hunt group configuration, the DIDs of each line are linked to one main DID. When one line is called, the provider links it to the "main" trunk. The configuration is then easier in the gateway: each analog port can be added in a single group of ports with one CLIP. The group of ports is then connected to the IPBX via a single SIP trunk. Finally only two Dialplan rules need to be created. The configuration is very similar to the set up of ISDN lines via a beroNet VoIP Gateway.
Navigate to "PSTN+ → Analog FXO" and click on "Add". Depending on the configuration scenario you set up, you will have to choose either one or all the FXO ports in the group configuration.
In the port configuration, only a few information need to be configured. I will explain the needed fields here. In order to know more about the rest of the settings, check: 1.3 beroNet OS Web Interface (VoIP Gateways & Cards).
For the SIP configuration, visit this page: SIP configuration of a beroNet VoIP Gateway
Depending on the configuration scenario you set up, you will need to create either one SIP trunk (hunt group) or several (single trunks).
To configure the Dialplan in the right way, please visit this page: Understanding the beroNet Dialplan
Here you will need to connect each group of ports to the right SIP trunk.
