    This application puts PBX features and dialtone in the hands of users of remote telephones. MCK’s PBXgateway II application uses both the primary and the secondary channels of a PBX digital port. Each channel has an associated 4/5-digit extension (a.k.a. terminal number or TN). DEFINITY users refer to the primary voice channel as I1 and the secondary data channel as I2.

    Disabled Mode Allows the user to call into the PBX/KTS to get dialtone to place outgoing calls to anywhere in the world (assuming permission). In this mode, the ConneX PBXgateway does not route incoming calls to the user’s phone.

  • Page 24: Synchronous-Serial Connection

    Synchronous-Serial Connection A synchronous-serial connection defines each character by providing a clock signal to identify the beginning and end of each character. Voice and signaling packets are sent using the High Level Data Link Control (HDLC) protocol using the synchronous serial WAN ports. A network termination device (TA, CSU/DSU) handles the transmission of the HDLC data to the alternate device over the appropriate network circuit.

  • Page 25: Asynchronous-Serial Connection

    Asynchronous-Serial Connection An Asynchronous-Serial Connection is a connection where voice packets are sent at irregular intervals. Each voice packet is preceded with a Start Bit and followed by a Stop Bit. The timing of the transmission is not determined by the timing of a previous character. Figure 6: Advantages: •...

  • Page 26: Voice Over Ip (Voip)

    Voice Over IP (VoIP) The voice and signaling packets are sent using Internet Protocol (IP) over the packet-switched data networks as opposed to using the traditional circuit-switched protocols. Voice packets get delivered to the alternate device using the RVP. This protocol handles the timing and delivery of the packets. A server (PBXgateway II) is the main hub of information being requested, and a client (the Remote unit) or user is obtaining the information.

  • Page 28: Call Suspend

    Call Suspend The Call Suspend feature allows the telecom manager to reduce dialup ISDN costs by bringing down the ISDN connection when all phones are inactive for a configurable period of time. When the line is disconnected the phones will display that they are in the Call Suspend mode. Whenever a user goes off- hook or an incoming call occurs, the ISDN connection is brought back up and all phones are taken out of Call Suspend mode.
