| + | ==== Configuration ==== | ||
| + | You can enable **call waiting** (small beeps indicate another incoming call while you are in a call, and you can put current call on hold and answer that new call), **do not disturb** and **anonymous call**s. | ||
| + | |||
| + | You can also select **telephony keys style** - what dialcodes to press on phone for different functions. Select style and press Apply to see according dialcodes in Call Control buttons. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Telephone Line Port (FXO) ===== | ||
| + | By connecting Internet Gate to a landline it can act as a gateway between the global telephone network and IP telephony. You can use **//any SIP phone registered to it//** to call ordinary telephone numbers or answer incoming calls! (Not just the PH1/PH2 phones.) | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Make calls ==== | ||
| + | To make calls to ordinary telephone numbers you can enter the telephone number to call, with either a special **domain** or **prefix**: | ||
| + | * **domain** is by default "localgw" meaning entering "%%5551234@localgw%%" as a SIP address to call will call ordinary telephone number 555 1234. You can change that virtual domain name to anything else desired. | ||
| + | * **prefix** is by default "%%**%%" meaning entering "%%**5551234%%" or "%%**5551234@yourdomain.com%%" will call ordinary telephone number 555 1234. You can change that prefix to anything else desired. ((The Dial Plan feature of the [[SIP switch]] overrides this setting.)) | ||
| + | |||
| + | :!: For security reasons you are **strongly recommended** to limit who are allowed to make calls on the global telephone network. Recommended settings are **Inside users: Authenticate**, **Outside users: None** unless you want to allow e.g. remote workers use your landline. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ^ :!: SECURITY WARNING! ^ | ||
| + | | Allowing outside users use your Internet Gate's Telephone Line Port allows **anyone on the Internet** (who have guessed //any// of your user's passwords) to make expensive calls to pay-numbers! | | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Answer incoming calls ==== | ||
| + | You can forward calls coming from the global telephone network to your landline's telephone number to **any SIP phone** you desire. | ||
| + | |||
| + | You can either forward incoming calls to a specific phone, or let the caller select what extension she wants to reach. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Specific phone === | ||
| + | Enter **Forward incoming calls to** the number or full SIP address you want to receive the calls. | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you want a backup phone then select **during** nr of **ring signals**, **Collect: No**, and **Forward to** number or full SIP address of secondary phone to receive call if first phone didn't answer it. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Select extension === | ||
| + | Internet Gate can answer incoming calls, present a new dialtone and allow caller to dial the extension she wants to reach. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Leave **Forward incoming calls to** empty, and select **during: No**. Select for example **Collect: 2 extension digits**. If you are not using Internet Gate's built-in SIP server then specify server's address.\\ | ||
| + | Now if all your SIP addresses are numerical, numbers 00 to 99, then callers can select what SIP number address to reach on your SIP server. (By using multiple registrations a SIP phone can be registered as e.g. both %%john@company.com%%, %%555123422@company.com%% and %%22@company.com%%.) You can also use the **extension numbers** feature of the [[SIP switch]]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Combined === | ||
| + | You can combine the two methods, allowing caller to select extension, but forwarding to a specific phone (e.g. a secretary) if e.g. no extension selected. Or prior to extension selection, or both. The incoming call answering is extremely flexible. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Advanced ===== | ||
| + | There are also many [[Advanced Settings for Telephone Ports]] to fine-tune telephone port behaviours. | ||
