6.4.3 Cabling the FXS Analog Lifeline
The device supports Analog Lifeline. If the device loses power, for example, due to a power
outage or the unplugging of its power cable, it automatically routes calls from a POTS
telephone ("lifeline" phone), connected to an FXS port, to the PSTN (instead of the IP
network).
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.

only on specific hardware configurations with combined FXS and FXO interfaces. For
