Connecting to PSTN and VoIP Services
Both the SPA3102 and the SPA8800 allow your analog and IP phones to
participate in calls over the VoIP network and the PSTN. Both devices provide a
VoIP-To-PSTN calling function, which is referred to as a
PSTN gateway
, as well as a
PSTN-To-VoIP calling function, which is referred to as a
VoIP gateway
.
These ATAs function somewhat differently because they are designed to meet
different business needs.
•
The SPA3102 is designed to work independently as a PSTN gateway and
VoIP gateway, without relying on a PBX for call control.

FXS Port: The SPA3102 has 1 FXS port that you can connect to a
standard analog telephone or fax machine. Configure the FXS settings
by using the SPA3102 Line page.
