SCOPTEL IP PBX Software - Vegastream Analog Gateway Configuration

FXO interfaces

• Also known as POTS line (Plain Old Telephone Service).

• Also known as 1fl (1 family line).

• Each FXO line can support one conversation between two parties (Tx and Rx Transmit and Receive).

• Most business use ‘equivalent lines’ placed into an equivalent group ordered from the phone company AKA Telco.

• Sometimes these equivalent groups are referred to as:

  • Rotary group

  • Hunt group

• The first line or ‘pilot’ in the equivalent group is usually referred to as the BTN (Billing Telephone Number).

• If additional lines are added to the pilot in a group then they are programmed by the Telco in a forward on busy configuration.

  Example:

  • 555-1234 (BTN) forward busy to

  • 555-2234 forward busy to

  • 555-3234 forward busy to

  • 555-4234 Busy (since this is the last number in this 4 FXO equivalency group)

• Usually an inbound Caller ID service is ordered separately for each 1fl at an additional cost.

• Variants of FXO interfaces include:

  • Loop Start (SCOPTEL/Vegastream)

  • Ground Start (Legacy PBX’s)

Disconnect Supervision

Disconnect supervision is a term in telephony describing signaling between the telephone exchange and a connected party used to indicate that the connected call is being disconnected. Without this Telco option FXO ports can get hung indefinitely on the PBX. It only applies to Loop Start circuits (not Ground Start).

CPC (Calling Party Control)

Is a signal sent from most modern electronic COs to indicate that the “Calling Party” has hung up. North American Central Office Switches use the OSI (Open Switch Interval) to signal the PBX’s FXO port that the Calling Party has hung up.

The OSI is a break in loop voltage (0VDC), typically for 800ms. If the PBX’s FXO port can support the Open Switch Interval it will free up the FXO port.

Supervisory Disconnect Tone

Some Telco’s send a Supervisory Disconnect Tone when the Calling Party hangs up. If the PBX’s FXO port can support the Supervisory Disconnect Tone it will free up the FXO port.

Battery Reversal

Instead of an open loop for 800ms, the DC talk battery gets reversed for 500ms.

Battery Reversal is still used in some countries however no FCC registered telephone equipment would recognize a battery reversal, since the FCC requires that telephones operate correctly on either polarity. Therefore Battery Reversal would simply be ignored.

Basic Test

If you have a Butt-set with a polarity light that’s on all of the time while you’re talking or you can hold the polarity test button while listening, you can watch the polarity LED. Make a call to your cell phone, hang-up the cell phone, and watch the polarity LED on your Butt-set. When there’s an open loop, there’s no voltage, and there’s no electricity to light the LED. You can also listen for the Supervisory Disconnect Tone on your Butt-set when the Calling Party hangs up.

SCOPTEL Background and Pre-requisites

• SIP Extensions must be created on SCOPTEL server for FXS ports

• SIP VoIP Accounts must be created on SCOPTEL server for FXO ports

• Incoming Lines must be created on SCOPTEL server to route incoming calls

• Outgoing Lines must be created on SCOPTEL server to route outgoing calls

• Class of Service must be edited to allow Outgoing Lines to access Vegastream POTS ports

Vegastream Background and Pre-requisites

Vegastream Interface types (.. = 2 digit wildcard):

• IF:01.. = FXS

• IF:02.. = FXO

• IF:03.. = BRI

• IF:04.. = PRI

• 06.. = Call Presentation Groups (used to select FXO port sequence for outgoing PSTN calls)

• IF:99.. = SIP

• Dn (SIP Registration User X) = Contact Header/Username (must match SCOPTEL SIP username)

• Hostname (LAN/WAN) = Contact address = (local IP Address) or working FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name)

• Local Domain (SIP Profile) = Hostname

Vegastream supports regex pattern matching

Examples:

• IF:0101 = FXS port 1

• IF:01.. = FXS any port

• IF:0201 = FXO port 1

• IF:0202 = FXO port 2

• IF:02.. = FXO any port

• IF:9901 = SIP Profile 1

• IF:9902 = SIP Profile 2

• IF99.. = Any SIP Profile

SIP Extensions

Use the SCOPTEL Extensions Manager to build the desired SIP extensions for the Vegastream FXS ports using secure passwords.

These extensions will be used for the Vegastream SIP Profile 1, 9901 interface and To_SIP dial plan.

Commit when done.

VoIP Accounts

Use the SCOPTEL Interfaces Manager to build the desired SIP VoIP Accounts for the Vegastream FXO ports using secure passwords.

In this example there are two equivalent phone lines supplied by the Telco in typical ascending ring order

1. 9055551234 rings busy to

2. 9055552234 end of hunt

You need to create one VoIP Account for each phone number. This will make it easier to steer each phone number to the desired destination and create outgoing line pools for multiple business units.

Use the SCOPTEL Interfaces Manager to build a SIP VoIP Account for each of the Vegastream FXO ports using secure passwords. Example (Summary):

General Tab

• Select the required Tenant

• Type is SIP

• Trunk Type is Friend

• Use the Telco’s telephone number as the Username

Server Tab

• Use the Telco’s telephony number as the Username

• Enter a secure registration Password

• Set Host Mode as Dynamic since the Vegastream will register to SCOPTEL

• Check the Enable Proxy Settings?:[x]

Network Tab

• Insecure : Check Port and Invite

• Check Qualify? [x]

Options Tab

• DTMF Mode: RFC 2833

• Choose the desired CODEC’s (G711 recommended, G.729 cannot support fax)

• Save each VoIP account when done.

• Your VoIP Accounts page should something like this

• Commit your changes

Incoming Lines

General Tab

• Example: 9055551234

• Type = Extension (DNIS)

• Extension (DNIS) = 9055551234

• Trunk = 9055551234

Destination Tab

Example: 9055551234

• Destination: Play a Message

• Message to Play: demo-congrats

Options Tab

Example: 9055551234

• Schedule: default

• Language: Default

Advanced Options Tab

Example: 9055551234

• Class of Service: System Default

• Save

• Commit

When you have finished adding each Incoming Line your summary screen should look something like this

Enable each desired FXS port and enter the Registration Details for each extension you created in the SCOPTEL Extensions Manager.

Click on the Submit button when done.

In the Expert Config LAN/WAN section

• Change the IP address to static or you must set your DHCP server and DNS server to set a FQDN.

• Change the Hostname to match the IP address or FQDN of the Vegastream Gateway since this sets the local SIP user domain when registering with Asterisk.

In the POTS section

• Enable each desired interface

• Enable Caller ID options

• Enable Visual Message Waiting Indication for voicemail MWI light

• Enable Loop Current Break and set Loop Current Time to 800 to enable Disconnect Supervision
