5.4.3 Cabling the FXS Analog Lifeline
The device's FXS Analog Lifeline feature provides a wired connection for a plain old
telephone service (POTS) phone (FXS) to the PSTN / PBX (FXO) upon a power outage or
IP network connectivity loss.
The FXS Analog Lifeline is available on the hardware configuration that provides a single
FXO port and three FXS ports. The FXS lifeline phone connects to FXS port #1 and the
PSTN/PBX connects to FXO port #1. When the Lifeline is activated, the FXS line
automatically connects to the FXO line and calls between these entities can be established.
To cable the FXS Analog Lifeline:
1. Connect the analog lifeline telephone to FXS port #1, located on the rear panel.
2. Connect an analog PSTN line to FXO port #1, located on the rear panel.
