FXS Gateways
The QX FXS Gateway is an analog Gateway that allows
connecting analogue phones to a VoIP network. The device can
be used with QX IP PBXs to emulate additional FXS ports. Both
QX IP PBX and the FXS Gateway should be located in the same
network. QX IP PBX is connected to the QX FXS gateway
through its MAC address.
The FXS Gateway Management page is used to define QX FXS
Gateway devices in your network that can serve as FXS
expansion modules for your QX IP PBX. Additional FXS lines
provided by the FXS Gateway can be connected to the IP lines
on the QX IP PBX.

The FXS Gateway Configuration Wizard - FXS Gateway
Model page contains following components:
• The FXS Gateway Model drop down list is used to
select the FXS Gateway model to be used as an FXS
expansion device.
• The MAC Address text fields require the MAC
Address of the FXS Gateway. Based on the selected
FXS Gateway model and the inserted MAC Address,
the FXS Gateway can be automatically configured
by simple reset/reboot.
• The Description text field requires the description
of the FXS Gateway to be configured.

The next page of the wizard is
FXS Gateway Configuration
Wizard - FXS Gateway Lines
. This page displays a list of FXS
lines provided by the FXS Gateway and is used to assign each
FXS line to an IP line on the QX IP PBX. System will
automatically assign the provided FXS lines to the first
available IP lines on the QX IP PBX. You may adjust the
configuration from this page.
Please Note: The FXS lines can be assigned only to inactive IP
lines on the QX IP PBX. If there are no enough free IP lines
available on the QX IP PBX, you should first deactivate the IP
line from the
IP Line Settings page to use it in the FXS
Gateway Configuration Wizard.
The next page of the wizard is FXS Gateway Configuration
Wizard - Summary where the configured settings should be
verified.
Once FXS Gateway Configuration Wizard terminates, a new
entry is added to the table and the corresponding FXS
Gateway's configuration gets updated according to the
settings defined in the wizard, i.e. corresponding routing
rules will be added to the Call Routing table of the FXS
Gateway. If you need to reboot the FXS gateway, use the
Reboot functional button in the FXS Gateway Management
page.
