FXO Port Background FXO interfaces • Also known as POTS line (Plain Old Telephone Service). • Also known as 1fl (1 family line). • Each FXO line can support one conversation between two parties (Tx and Rx (Transmit and Receive)). • Most business use ‘equivalent lines’ placed into an equivalent group ordered from the phone company AKA Telco. • Sometimes these equivalent groups are referred to as: • Rotary group • Hunt group • The first line or ‘pilot’ in the equivalent group is usually referred to as the BTN (Billing Telephone Number).
• If additional lines are added to the pilot in a group then they are programmed by the Telco in a forward on busy configuration. Example: • 555-1234 (BTN) forward busy to • 555-2234 forward busy to • 555-3234 forward busy to • 555-4234 Busy (since this is the last number in this 4 FXO equivalency group) • Usually an inbound Caller ID service is ordered separately for each 1fl at an additional cost. • Variants of FXO interfaces include: Loop Start (ScopTEL/Mediatrix) Ground Start (Legacy PBX’s)
FXO/FXS interfaces – Disconnect Supervision Disconnect supervision is a term in telephony describing signaling between the telephone exchange and a connected party used to indicate that the connected call is being disconnected. Without this Telco option FXO ports can get hung indefinitely on the PBX. It only applies to Loop Start circuits (not Ground Start). CPC (Calling Party Control) • Is a signal sent from most modern electronic COs to indicate that the "Calling Party" has hung up. North American Central Office Switches use the OSI (Open Switch Interval) to signal the PBX’s FXO port that the Calling Party has hung up. • The OSI is a break in loop voltage (0VDC), typically for 800ms. If the PBX’s FXO port can support the Open Switch Interval it will free up the FXO port. Supervisory Disconnect Tone • Some Telco’s send a Supervisory Disconnect Tone when the Calling Party hangs up. If the PBX’s FXO port can support the Supervisory Disconnect Tone it will free up the FXO port. Battery Reversal • Instead of an open loop for 800ms, the DC talk battery gets reversed for 500ms. • Battery Reversal is still used in some countries however no FCC registered telephone equipment would recognize a battery reversal, since the FCC requires that telephones operate correctly on either polarity. Therefore Battery Reversal would simply be ignored. Basic Test • If you have a Butt-set with a polarity light that's on all of the time while you're talking or you can hold the polarity test button while listening, you can watch the polarity LED. Make a call to your cell phone, hang-up the cell phone, and watch the polarity LED on your Butt-set. When there's an open loop, there's no voltage, and there's no electricity to light the LED. You can also listen for the Supervisory Disconnect Tone on your Butt-set when the Calling Party hangs up.
ScopTEL Background and Pre-requisites • • • • •

Mediatrix Background and Pre-requisites The Mediatrix FXO/FXS gateways have two network interfaces • Lan1 eth2 (default management interface IP address 192.168.0.10 255.255.255.0) • Uplink eth1 (DHCP client) • The Uplink eth1 port is the default SIP signalling and media interface (sip-default is bound to this interface) The FXS ports support Disconnect Supervision by the following methods: • DropOnDisconnect (default) • ReversalOnIdle Shutdown Behavior: • Disabled Tone (default) • Power Drop
Power Drop On Disconnect Duration: 1000 ms The FXS ports support Voicemail Message Waiting Indication by the following methods: • Fsk: A FSK signal is sent to activate the VMWI on the phone. • FskAndVoltage: Both FSK signal and high voltage signal are used to activate the VMWI on the phone. Note: FskAndVoltage is not supported on all devices. FXO ports support Caller ID Detection. Answering Configuration Wait Before Answering Delay 8000 ms (default).
Mediatrix Configuration • Log into the webui http:/// . • The default user is ‘admin’ and password is ‘administrator’.

Incoming Lines In the following examples there are two equivalent line groups supplied by the Telco in typical ascending ring order: • Equivalency Group 1 (Company ABC) • Equivalency Group 2 (Company XYZ) • FXO1 4165551234 Rings Busy to • FXO3 4165553234 • FXO2 4165552234 • FXO4 4165554234 Incoming Lines on the ScopTEL server will use Called Number/DNIS supplied by the Mediatrix gateway over the configured VoIP Interface. For each configured DNIS a unique ScopTEL Destination can be applied as in this example:
Mediatrix Called Number Forwarding The Mediatrix Gateway will be configured to send a called number to ScopTEL Incoming Lines per FXO port by configuring Telephony>Services>Select Endpoint>Automatic Call Target from the Mediatrix WebUI • Each FXO port 1-4 must be configured to send the required called number to the ScopTEL incoming lines. • In this example the Automatic Call Target is defined on FXO1 to send called number 4165551234.
Pool A Configuration FXO1-FXO2 • Name = PoolA • Trunk = mediatrixgateway • Type = Custom Dial String • Dial String: 801X. NOTE: 801 will be passed to the Mediatrix Gateway and the gateway will strip 801 and pass any remaining dialed digits. The user dials 9 and the phone number they want to dial and does not dial 801. • Access Code (Prefix): 9 NOTE: The Access Code is always absorbed. •
This will do a Class of Service lookup and if allowed will pass outgoing calls to the Mediatrix FXO ports 1-2 when dialed digits start with 9 NOTE: Default CoS allows all outgoing lines by default so you must configure a CoS for the extensions to use Pool A
Pool B Configuration FXO3-FXO4 • Name = PoolB • Trunk = mediatrixgateway • Type = Custom Dial String • Dial String: 802X. NOTE: 802 will be passed to the Mediatrix Gateway and the gateway will strip 801 and pass any remaining dialed digits. The user dials 9 and the phone number they want to dial and does not dial 801. • Access Code (Prefix): 9 NOTE: The Access Code is always absorbed. • This will do a Class of Service lookup and if allowed will pass outgoing calls to the Mediatrix FXO ports 3-4 when dialed digits start with 9. NOTE: Default CoS allows all outgoing lines by default so you must configure a CoS for the extensions to use Pool B.
Pool A ScopTEL Class of Service • • • • •
Manager>Class of Service Add a new Class General Tab Name = PoolB Outgoing Lines Tab click on Select. The Up and Down arrows are used to select the Outgoing Line priority. • Objects higher in the list are pattern matched first therefore will be selected before any other Outgoing Line configuration. • Click Add when done.
