Overview
DECT base station
The integrated DECT base station allows you to connect your DECT phones to the MediaAccess Gateway. This way you
will be able to make phone calls over the Internet and save on communication costs, especially for long-distance calls.
Phone Port
The Phone ( ) port allows you to connect a traditional phone to your MediaAccess Gateway. This way you will be able to
make phone calls over the Internet and save on communication costs, especially for long-distance calls.
For more information, see “6.1 Setting Up Your Telephone Network” on page 52.
PSTN Port (optional)
The PSTN port allows you to connect the MediaAccess Gateway to the traditional telephone network, i.e. the Public
Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). When the VoIP connection is not available, the MediaAccess Gateway will
automatically switch from VoIP to the traditional telephone network.
For more information, see “6.1.2 Connection to the Traditional Telephone Network” on page 54.
If your MediaAccess Gateway does not have a PSTN port, this means that:
Your MediaAccess Gateways has an integrated filter
The MediaAccess Gateway separates the phone signal from the signal coming from the DSL port. Your
MediaAccess Gateway has an integrated filter if the product name printed on the label of your MediaAccess
Gateway ends with “wIF” (with Integrated Filter). If this suffix is not present, then your MediaAccess Gateway
does not have an integrated filter.
- or -
Your MediaAccess Gateway is VoIP-only
All calls passing through the MediaAccess Gateway will be done via VoIP.
Be aware that, if you are not connected to the traditional telephone network, emergency calls will not be possible
when your Internet connection is down or your MediaAccess Gateway is powered off.
