Once again, POTS peers enable incoming calls to be received by a particular telephony device. To configure a POTS peer, you need to uniquely identify the peer (by assigning it a unique tag number), define its telephone number(s), and associate it with a voice port through which calls will be established. Under most circumstances, the default values for the remaining

Outbound Dialing on POTS Peers
When a router receives a voice call, it selects an outbound dial peer by comparing the called number (the full E.164 telephone number) in the call information with the number configured as the destination pattern for the POTS peer. The router then strips out the
For example, suppose there is a voice call whose E.164 called number is 1(310)

Direct Inward Dial for POTS Peers
Direct inward dial (DID) is used to determine how the called number is treated for incoming POTS call legs. As shown in Figure 10, incoming means from the perspective of the router. In this case, it is the call leg coming into the access server to be forwarded through to the appropriate destination pattern.
