Configuring voice entities

Overview

The voice entity configuration involves:
•
POTS voice entity configuration
•
VoIP voice entity configuration
According to the position of the caller or callee, a complete telephone-to-telephone connection can
be divided into four call segments, each of which corresponds to a voice entity.

Figure 4
shows that two types of voice entities are involved in VoIP communication:
•
POTS voice entity—This type of voice entity corresponds to the local telephone or PSTN side.
POTS voice entity configuration is required to establish connections between physical voice
subscriber-lines and local telephone devices.
•
VoIP voice entity—This type of entity maps telephone numbers with destination addresses.
Contrasted to POTS voice entity, it resides at the IP side. You can configure a VoIP voice entity
to use the SIP or H.323 protocol to make VoIP calls.
Besides the POTS and VoIP voice entities, the device also supports VoFR entity and IVR entity. A
VoFR entity is used to transmit voice data over a frame relay network, and an IVR entity is used to set
a customizable interactive voice response system. For more information about these two types of
voice entities, see "Configuring VoFR" and "Configuring customizable IVR."
