POTS Answering Configuration

Scroll Prev Top Next More

POTS answering can be configured to suit:

 

The type of call being made, e.g. Tieline (with Tieline Session Data) versus non-Tieline (Sessionless).

Expected dialing behaviors and encoding, e.g. whether audio streams use Route tags and which algorithm is used.

 

By default, Tieline codecs communicate information via session data transferred when a connection is established. If you answer a call from a non-Tieline codec (or a sessionless call from a Tieline codec), POTS Answering settings determine the algorithm used when connecting. An Answering Route can also be configured, which routes a call to a specific audio stream on the answering codec.

Important Notes:

POTS Answering settings are applied to POTS Codec connections and not Analog Phone connections.

When call is received from a Tieline codec sending session data (i.e. not a Sessionless connection), the algorithm setting sent from the dialing codec overrides the algorithm setting in the POTS Answering menu.

The default POTS Answering settings will accept a call from an incoming Tieline codec with session data enabled, or a sessionless call from a Comrex POTS codec  using the Other algorithm.

For more information about POTS answering parameters, including 'route' configuration, see Configuring POTS Answering in the HTML5 Toolbox Web-GUI manual.

 

1.Press the HOME home-icon button to return to the Home screen, then tap Settings Settings.

2.Navigate to Answering and then tap POTS Answering answering.

3.Tap Session Type to adjust whether to accept Tieline session calls or sessionless calls only.

4.Tap to select Tieline Codecs and Sessionless or Sessionless Only if connecting to non-Tieline codecs only.

information2

Important Note: By default, calls from Tieline codecs contain session data information, which includes algorithm, bit-rate, route and other settings. Calls from non-Tieline codecs are sessionless.

 

1.Select Tieline Codecs and Sessionless if answering calls from both Tieline and non-Tieline codecs.

2.Select Sessionless Only if answering calls from non-Tieline codecs only. Note: When Sessionless Only is configured, the codec will not wait to receive Tieline session data and this reduces the time taken to answer a sessionless call. Non-Tieline Encoding and answer route settings are used to answer sessionless calls.

 

5. Tap Non-Tieline Encoding, then tap Other when connecting to Comrex® Vector, Matrix® and BlueBox® codecs.

Important Note: On the Comrex codec select the Comrex "Music" algorithm. Please note that 9.6kbps connections are not supported by Comrex codecs.

 

6. Tap G3 and Non-Tieline Answering Route to specify the audio stream Route when answering a sessionless call. Tap to select a specific Route. For more information on Answering routes see Configuring POTS Answering.

 

POTS_answer-Answering_route         POTS_answer-Answering_route_1

 

information2

Important Note: Routing configuration is unsupported on Tieline G3 and non-Tieline codecs. Configure a POTS Answer Route to direct incoming calls to a matching Answer program route. Note: If there is a mismatch between the POTS Answer Route and an Answer program route, the call can still connect and routes are ignored.
