FXS

Foreign eXchange Station

An FXS device has hardware to generate the ring signal to the FXO extension (usually an analog phone).

An FXS device will allow any FXO device to operate as if it were connected to the phone company. This makes your PBX the POTS+PSTN for the phone.

The FXS Interface connects to FXO devices (by an FXO interface, of course).

DHCP

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an Internet protocol for automating the configuration of computers that use TCP/IP. DHCP can be used to automatically assign IP addresses, to deliver TCP/IP stack configuration parameters such as the subnet mask and default router, and to provide other configuration information such as the addresses for printer, time and news servers.

ECHO CANCELLATION

Echo Cancellation is used in telephony to describe the process of removing echo from a voice communication in order to improve voice quality on a telephone call. In addition to improving quality, this process improves bandwidth savings achieved through silence suppression by preventing echo from traveling across a network.

There are two types of echo of relevance in telephony: acoustic echo and hybrid echo. Speech compression techniques and digital processing delay often contribute to echo generation in telephone networks.

H.323

A suite of standards for multimedia conferences on traditional packet-switched networks.

HTTP

The basic steps involved in originating an IP Telephony call are conversion of the analog voice signal to digital
