PSTN Pass through port: What it can do: - Local manual switching between PSTN and IP mode on a per call basis. - User can switch to PSTN line by pressing *00 (or the configured strings) for each call before they are placed. The device will revert back to the default IP mode once the phone is hung up. - It can allow a PSTN call to ring/call the phone connected to the FXS port. - It also serves as a life line in case of power outage. What it CANNOT do: - Terminate a VoIP call into the PSTN port - Allow a call from PSTN to route other VoIP devices (different from the FXS phone) over the IP network - Automatically route calls made by the local user to PSTN line Note: On the HT-486 Rev 1.0, the PSTN port is only a life line port that switches to PTSN only on loss of power. FXO port: It can support all the functions of a PSTN pass through plus: - Terminate a VoIP call into the PSTN port - Allow a PSTN call to call either the FXS phone or other VoIP devices over the IP network - Route call automatically and transparently to PSTN line according to user configuration
