How VoIP-To-PSTN Calls Work

How VoIP-To-PSTN Calls Work
ATA Administration Guide
VoIP user—VoIP caller that has a user account (user-id and password) on the
ATA device
PSTN caller—One who calls the ATA device from the PSTN to obtain VoIP
service
Line 1 can be configured with a regular VoIP account and can be used in the same
way as the Line 1 of any ATA device.
A second VoIP account can be configured to support PSTN gateway calls
exclusively. A different SIP port should be assigned to Line 1 and the PSTN Line.
The same VoIP account may be used for both Line 1 and the PSTN Line if a
different SIP port is assigned to each.
VoIP callers can be authenticated by one of the following methods:
No Authentication—All callers are accepted for service.
PIN—Caller is prompted to enter a PIN right after the call is answered.
HTTP digest—SIP INVITE must contain a valid authorization header.
PSTN callers can be authenticated by one of the following methods:
No authentication—All callers are accepted for service.
PIN—Caller is prompted to enter a PIN right after the call is answered.
To obtain PSTN services through the SPA3102, the VoIP caller establishes a
connection with the PSTN Line by way of a standard SIP INVITE request
addressed to the PSTN Line. The PSTN Line can be configured to support one-
stage and two-stage dialing as described in the following sections.

One-Stage Dialing

One-stage dialing allows a call to be started over VoIP and then immediately get a
dial tone on the PSTN.
To use one-stage dialing, the Request-URI of the INVITE to the PSTN Line should
Dialed-Number
have the form <
number dialed by the VoIP caller, and <
of the SPA3102, such as 10.0.0. 1 00:5061.
SPA-Address
>@<
>, where <
SPA-Address
