The dual-line, Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) feature allows one or both of the ISDN B-
channels to alternatively be used with traditional phone equipment (for example, a phone, a fax, or
an answering machine). When used with a LAN or AMP connection, this allows you to use one
ISDN line for both data and voice.
Note:
The CyberSWITCH must have a power source for operation. Since POTS is an integral
feature of the CyberSWITCH, it too needs power. When power is off, you loose your
CyberSWITCH phone service. Therefore, do not rely on the phones connected to the
CyberSWITCH ports for emergency service (i.e., 911). In a home office or small office
situation, we recommend retaining a standard analog phone line for emergencies.
The POTS interface acts as a simple PBX or Key System. Note that the POTS interface responds to
DTMF (Dual Tone Multifrequency) signaling only; it does not support pulse dialing.
Use the following graphic and instructions to complete the connection.
1.
Insert one end of a telephone line into Jack 1 (see above graphic).
2.
Insert the other end of the line into your telephone equipment.
3.
If you are connecting a second piece of telephone equipment, repeat the above steps using Jack
