2. Basic Operations
2.1 Phone Call
2.1.1 Phone or Extension Number
1）FXO Call Out
• One stage dialing: After receiving dialing number from softswitch/IPPBX, the
number will be called out via FXO ports that is configured under “Port select”.
• Two stage dialing: the call arrives the gateway from SIP connection: the caller
will hear 2nd dial tone and could then dial outside number.
2）Dial the number directly and press #.
• Dial outside number with FXO: when the message “please dial the extension
number” or second dial tone is played, enter the dialing number. The gateway
will then send the number to SIP server/connection, such as soft switch or
IPPBX.
• Off-hook auto-dial: (calling via FXO): the gateway will automatically connect to
the preset extension or ring group number according to the default hotline
number.
2.1.2 Direct IP Calls (SPOATA-8S FXS gateway)
SpoATA-8S allows direct call through IP address. A point-to-point call could be dialed
without registration.
Elements necessary to configure a direct IP call：
1) Both SpoATA-8S or other ATA, are on public IP addresses;
2) Both SpoATA-8S and other ATA are on the same LAN on private IP addresses;
3) Both SpoATA-8S and other ATA could be connected through a router using public or

! ! ! SpoTel!Series!Voice!Gateway:>!User!Manual!
5!
!
private IP addresses (with necessary port forwarding or DMZ).
Operation Process
1）Pick up the analog phone then dial “ *47 ”
2）Enter the target IP address.
【Note】：No dial tone will be played between step 1 and step 2
Examples:
If the target IP address is 192.168.0.160, the dialing convention is *47, then
192*168*0*160. Followed by pressing the “#” key or waiting another 3 seconds, the
remote unit will ring.
【Note】：Th direct IP calls could not be made from one port to another port within the
same gateway since both ports are using the same IP. Only the standard SIP port 5060
could be used in the direct ip dialing.

SpoATA-8S supports all traditional and advanced phone functions.

2.3 Sending and Receiving Fax
2.3.1 SpoATA-8S supports four fax modes:
1）T.38（FoIP）
2）Pass-Through
3）Modem
4）adaptive
2.3.2 T. 38 and Pass-Through
T.38 is the preferred method because it is more reliable and works well in most network

! ! ! SpoTel!Series!Voice!Gateway:>!User!Manual!

!
conditions. If the service provider supports T.38, please use this method by selecting T.38
as fax mode (default). If the service provider does not support T.38, pass-through mode
could be used. If there is problem sending or receiving Fax, toggle the Fax Tone Detection
Mode setting.
3. Local IVR Operation
3.1 Inquire IP address
After attaching an to a FXS ports, feature code could be dialed to inspect the current ip
status.
: dialing *158# to inquire LAN IP address
: dialing *159# to inquire WAN IP address.
3.2 Factory Reset
Dial *166*000000#, then hang up. The gateway will then reboot.
3.3 Configure LAN Port’s IP Address
Before configuration, please ensure:（1）The device is power on; （2）device is connected
to the network;（3）Telephone is attached to FXS port.
1) Configure dynamic IP address by DHCP：
Off-hook; Dial “*150*2#”; On-hook/hang up;
After 10 seconds, the device will reboot.
2) Configure Static IP address
Off-hook; Dial “*150*1#”; On-hook;
Then configure IP and mask as follow:
• Configure IP address：
Off-hook; input “*152*172*16*0*100# ”; On-hook
• Configure subnet mask：

Off-hook; input “*153*255*255*0*0# ”; on-hook
• Configure gateway IP address
Off-hook; input “*156*172*16*0*1# ”; on-hook.
3) Query the IP address of device: Off-hook, input“*158#”
4) If the SpoATA-8S is on PPPoE to get IP address，it should be configured by web
browser.
【Note】：The telephone will play voice prompt “Setting successfully” if the setup is correct

4.4 Quick Setup Wizard
Quick configuration wizard will guide users to configure the device step by step. Users only
need to configure network, SIP server and sip port during the setup. Basically, after these three
steps, users are able to make voice call through the gateway.
4.5 Network Configuration
4.5.1 Local Network
There are two modes, namely, route and bridge. When the gateway is set as route mode,
the gateway will work as small router and NAT function is enabled. In this setup, WAN
port normally connect to uplink router/switch or ADSL MODEM, while LAN port connects
local computer or other network device (such as Ethernet switches, Hubs etc). When
bridge mode is set, WAN and LAN ports are daisy chained together as in Ethernet switch.
In bridge mode, only WAN IP address and DNS should be configured. In route mode,
default LAN IP is 192.168.11.1 but could be changed by users.

1) 802.1Q
The IEEE 802.1Q standards define architecture , services , protocols and algorithms for
Virtual Bridged LANs.
No Quality of Service mechanisms are defined in this standard, but an important
requirement for providing QoS in this standard, e.g. ability to regenerate user priority of
received frames using priority information contained in the frame and the User Priority
Regeneration Table for the reception Port.
2) 802.1p
IEEE 802.1p standards, Traffic class expediting and dynamic multicast filtering:
It describes important methods for providing QoS at MAC level. IEEE 802.1p is very
effective. Packets will be sent according to the priority level. IEEE 802.1p describes no

4.5.3 ARP
ARP brief introduction:
ARP is address resolution protocol. After configuring ARP, users can get physical address
through device IP address. Under TCP/IP network environment, each host is assigned a
32-bit IP address. ARP is a tool that converts IP address into MAC address.
ARP configuration interface as follows:
Figure 4.5-4 ARP Parameters
4.6 SIP Server
SIP server introduction:

! ! ! SpoTel!Series!Voice!Gateway:>!User!Manual!
17!
!
1）SIP server is the main component of VoIP network and responsible for establishing
all the SIP phone calls. SIP server also called SIP proxy server or registered server.
IPPBX and the soft-switch can act as SIP server.
2）Usually, SIP server does not participate in the media process.
In SIP network, the media always using end-to-end to hand the consultation. In some
particular situation or business processing such as “Music On Old”, SIP server will
actively participate in the media negotiation. Simple SIP server is responsible only for
establishment, maintenance and cleaning conversation, don't interfere in call. While
relatively complex SIP server also called SIP PBX. It does not only provide the basic
call connection and basic conversational support, but also offer plenty of business
features such as: Presence, Find-me, Music On Hold.
3）SIP server based on Linux platform, such as: SpoTel, OpenSER、sipXecx，VoS，Mera etc.
4）SIP server based on windows platform, such as :miniSipServer、Brekeke，VoIPswitch etc.
5）Carrier grade soft-switch platform, such as Cisco, Huawei, Zteetc.
SIP server configuration interface as follows:
