Module Description Overview of This Chapter The Voice 4-Port 2-Wire Office module provides support for the office (central office or PABX switch) end of a two-wire analog telephone line. This allows a voice loop from a voice switch to be connected directly to a Multiservice Media Gateway system and communicate over an ATM network to a distant telephone or other analog device.
Page 24: 4-Port Voice 2-Wire Office Module
Chapter 2 Module Description 4-Port Voice 2-Wire Office Module 4-Port Voice 2-Wire Office Module This module is typically configured with an 8-Port Voice 2-Wire Station module via a PVC connection to enable a foreign exchange (FXO) voice service to be transmitted across an ATM network. With FXO service, the voice switch provides dial tone, ringing, and digit translation, which are not provided by the ATM network.
