Connection to the Traditional Telephone Network

Combining VoIP with the traditional telephone network

Some service providers use the traditional telephone network (PSTN) as a backup solution for your VoIP connection. This

way, you can still make calls over the traditional network if the VoIP service is down (for example, your MediaAccess

Gateway is powered off).

Applicability

If your MediaAccess Gateway:



Has an integrated filter, no additional connections are needed.

The DSL port must be directly connected to your telephone outlet. Do not put any filter or splitter between them!



Does not have an integrated filter, check if your MediaAccess Gateway has a

PSTN

port on the back panel (for more

information, see

“PSTN Port (optional)” on page 10

). If your MediaAccess Gateway has:



A

PSTN

port:

Connect the

PSTN

port to the

Phone

output of your filter or splitter.



No

PSTN

port, no connections are needed.

This is a VoIP-only variant. All calls passing through the MediaAccess Gateway will be done via VoIP.

Be aware that, if you are not connected to the traditional telephone network, emergency calls will not be possible

when your Internet connection is down or your MediaAccess Gateway is powered off.

How do I know if my MediaAccess Gateway has an integrated filter?

Check if the product name printed on the label of your MediaAccess Gateway ends with “wIF” (

w

ith

I

ntegrated

F

ilter). If this suffix is not present, then your MediaAccess Gateway does not have an

integrated filter.
