POTS Answering Configuration

Connection setting preferences are normally exchanged via session data sent between two Tieline codecs when a connection is established. If you answer a call from a non-Tieline codec you will need to create an answering "Config" to determine the settings used when connecting, and designate which module will answer the call (if more than one POTS module is installed).

Important Notes:

•POTS Answer Config settings are applied to POTS Codec connections and not Analog Phone connections.

•When receiving a call from a Tieline codec sending session data (i.e. not a Sessionless connection), the algorithm setting from the dialing codec overrides the setting in the POTS Answer Config menu.

•The default POTS Answer Configs accept a call from an incoming Tieline codec with session data enabled. They will also answer a call from a Comrex POTS codec by using the Other algorithm.

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

Important Note: Select Disable if the codec is expected to receive POTS calls from Tieline codecs, or both Tieline and non-Tieline codecs (i.e. you are not sure which type of codec may call). In this mode, once the codec answers a call, it expects to receive Tieline session data from the caller and configure its own algorithm settings according to that. If it fails to receive Tieline session data within 5 seconds (e.g. a Comrex POTS codec is calling), it will use the settings in the ISDN Answering Config instead.
 
Enable Sessionless Only when answering POTS calls from non-Tieline codecs only. When Sessionless is configured, the codec will not wait for the session data. This reduces the time taken to answer an inbound sessionless call.
