    IP PBX / SIP Server with HT841/HT881 A SIP proxy server such as UCM6xxx can be deployed with the HT841/HT881 series. In this environment, the SIP server handles SIP registration and call control, and the HT841/HT881 processes media conversion between IP and PSTN calls.
  • Page 8 FXS Gateway with HT841/HT881 [No SIP Server required] Alternatively, the HT841/HT881 can be used without a SIP Server. You can use it in conjunction with an FXS Gateway (Ex. GXW42xx) and still be able to originate and terminate calls from IP to PSTN and vice versa. All you need to make sure is that the 2 gateways are able to locate each other (they should be on the same LAN or on Public IP addresses).
