MP-1xx refers to the MP-124 24-port, MP-108 8-port, MP-104 4-port and MP-
102 2-port gateways having similar functionality except for the number of
VoIP
channels (the MP-124 and MP-102 support only FXS).
MP-10x refers to MP-108 8-port, MP-104 4-port and MP-102 2-port
gateways.
MP-1xx/FXS refers only to the MP-124/FXS, MP-108/FXS, MP-104/FXS and
MP-102/FXS gateways.
MP-10x/FXO refers only to MP-108/FXO and MP-104/FXO gateways.
FXO (Foreign Exchange Office) is the interface replacing the analog
telephone and connects to a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) line
from the Central Office (CO) or to a Private Branch Exchange (PBX). The
FXO is designed to receive line voltage and ringing current, supplied from the
CO or the PBX (just like an analog telephone). An FXO VoIP gateway
interfaces between the CO/PBX line and the Internet.
FXS (Foreign Exchange Station) is the interface replacing the Exchange (i.e.,
the CO or the PBX) and connects to analog telephones, dial-up modems, and
fax machines. The FXS is designed to supply line voltage and ringing current
to these telephone devices. An FXS VoIP gateway interfaces between the
analog telephone devices and the Internet.
Ensure that you connect FXS ports to analog telephone or to PBX-trunk
lines only, and FXO ports to CO/PBX lines only.
The MP-1xx is supplied as a sealed unit and must only be
serviced by qualified service personnel.
