Introduction

This chapter provides an overview of POTS signaling and SmartNode FXO ports and describes the tasks
involved in configuring FXO ports in SmartWare.
This chapter includes the following sections:
• Shutdown and enable FXO ports (see
• Bind FXO ports to higher layer protocols (see
• Configure country specific FXO port parameters (see
• Configure other FXO port parameters (see
• Example
FXO stands for foreign exchange office and is the subscriber side of a POTS (plain old telephone system) line.
An FXO port on the SmartNode simulates thus an analog phone set, which must actively go on-hook and off-
hook, detect ringing and caller-id, and dial the called-party number using DTMF keypad.

Shutdown and enable FXO ports

FXO ports are enabled by default. They also can be configured when they are active. But keep in mind that
configuration of an active port temporarily disables the port for a short time (some milliseconds).
