The ability to switch between two ATAs with relay control is not typically used in
newer systems that utilise the PIB VoIP proxy. It is needed in older systems where
an ATA line is hard configured to be either bi-directional or uni-directional (SAS
mode). This meant that one ATA line was needed typically for incoming PA audio, or
a one-to-one bi-directional WIP call, and the other (in SAS mode) used for
unidirectional outgoing audio to multiple places i.e. PA or WIP All-Call originating
here.
With the PIB VoIP proxy functionality the ATA lines are always configured to allow bi-
directional operation. This allows a line to be used for both one-to-one and one way
outgoing audio – what is required for a given call is negotiated by the software within
the VoIP devices (ATAs or PIB) at the call endpoints when the call is setup.
