FXO (Foreign Exchange Office) is the interface replacing the analog
telephone and connects to a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN)
line from the Central Office (CO) or to a Private Branch Exchange (PBX).
The FXO is designed to receive line voltage and ringing current, supplied
from the CO or the PBX (just like an analog telephone). An FXO VoIP
gateway interfaces between the CO/PBX line and the Internet.
FXS (Foreign Exchange Station) is the interface replacing the Exchange
(that is, the CO or the PBX) and connects to analog telephones, dial-up
modems, and fax machines. The FXS is designed to supply line voltage
and ringing current to these telephone devices. An FXS VoIP gateway
interfaces between the analog telephone devices and the Internet.
WARNING: Ensure that you connect FXS ports to analog telephone or to
PBX-trunk lines only and FXO ports to Central Office (CO)/PBX lines only.
The V6000/V6100 gateways are supplied as sealed units and must be
installed or serviced only by qualified service personnel.
