FXS Voice Card
Overview
Overview
The FXS Voice Service card provides high-density provisioning of cost-effective
telephone services. Eight Foreign Exchange Station (FXS) telephone line channels can
be deployed on each FXS Voice Service card. These cards can be i nserted into any card
slot of the six-slot Compact T1. This allows the provisioning of up to 48 FXS lines in
a single chassis and up to 96 lines in two side-by-side units occupying just two rack
units of space.
A unique range of software-controlled signaling capabilities connects virtually any
type of 2-wire battery-feed telephone line service. FXS loop start or ground start
interfaces provide either outside (external) phone lines or on-premises (internal)
business line services. Supported features include caller ID, calling party disconnect,
distinctive ringing, three-way calling, and E&M signaling conversion. Automatic
impedance balancing provides echo-free service connections for a wide range of
customer equipment and line conditions. V.90 transmission ensures optimal dial-up
modern performance.
As a component of the Compact T1 platform, th e FXS service card has several local
and remote management options available through the Controller. The card can be
locally configured and managed using the front-panel DIP switches or the Command
Line Interface (CLI). Front-panel LEDs quickly communicate call progress and
channel status.
