2.12.2 Answering a Voice Call

To answer an incoming call, just pick the receiver when that telephone is ringing.

Voice calls are routed to one or both of the analog ports (PHONE 1 or/and PHONE 2) based on the phone number assignment when they are received. When the same number is assigned to both ports, you can choose the port you want to receive calls by setting the priority of the ports. If two ports have same priority, both ports receive ring signals. See Section 2.11.4 on page 45 on how to configure port priority.

When answering an incoming call, the TA will first be identified if the calling number matches the MSN settings. The Multiple Subscriber Number (MSN) supplementary service enables multiple ISDN numbers to be assigned to a single ISDN BRI line. It allows the caller to select, via the public network, one or more distinct terminals from a variety of terminal choices. Since the TA supports many different communication protocols and two analog adapters, each of these ports can individually be assigned to a different ISDN number (see Section 2.11.1 on page 43 for more information).

The following table shows incoming voice call scenarios.
