Two slots are available for inserting optional POTS modules into the codec. These can be
configured using the codec front panel or the HTML5 Toolbox Web-GUI. See
for additional information on POTS.
You can use the HTML5 Toolbox Web-GUI to configure a dial and/or answer program with POTS

1. Configure POTS module
2. Configure POTS Answering
23.6.1 Configuring POTS Modules
POTS settings in the Modules panel menu determine how your codec will connect at a particular
site. You can copy similar programs between codecs installed at different locations and also
configure site-specific settings for how each module should connect. The default Config settings for
POTS modules are designed to suit Tieline codecs. These settings will need to be adjusted to
connect to non-Tieline POTS codecs or connect in Analog Phone mode.
Configuring POTS G5 Modules
1. Open the HTML5 Toolbox Web-GUI and click Transport and then Modules to view and
configure POTS site settings.
Important Notes: The POTS module Status is displayed in the Modules panel. No
Phone Line is displayed when a cable is detached; Ready is displayed when a cable is
attached and the line voltage is good.
2. Click to select Module 1 or Module 2.
3. Click the Edit button to configure settings.
4. Click the drop down arrow to adjust the Answer Mode and select how the module in the codec
will be able to answer incoming POTS calls. Options include:
·
POTS Codec: allows the POTS G5 module to receive incoming audio data over a POTS line.
·
Analog Phone: configures the POTS G5 module to receive a standard analog phone call.
·
Disabled: disables the POTS G5 module from receiving a POTS Codec or Analog Phone
call.
