FAQ
What is the purpose of the FXS ports on this AudioCodes gateway?
The four FXS RJ-11 ports connect analog telephones, fax machines, or modems to the VoIP network. This allows businesses to continue using existing analog equipment while transitioning to IP telephony, providing a cost-effective migration path without replacing all endpoint devices.
How does the E-carrier and T-carrier support benefit deployments?
E-carrier and T-carrier support enables compatibility with international telephony standards, allowing this gateway to interface with traditional carrier networks worldwide. This is essential for service providers and multinational enterprises managing voice traffic across different regional telecommunications infrastructures.
What network connectivity options does this Hybrid SBC provide?
Primary connectivity is through Gigabit Ethernet with 10/100/1000Base-T auto-negotiation. Additionally, GSM and LTE cellular data connectivity serves as backup or alternative communication paths, ensuring voice service continuity during wired network outages or in locations without Ethernet infrastructure.
Can this device be installed in a standard server rack?
Yes, the 1U form factor is designed for standard 19-inch server racks. With dimensions of 13.58 inches wide and 12.60 inches deep, it fits typical rack configurations. The unit also supports desktop deployment for locations without rack infrastructure.
What is the difference between an SBC and a media gateway in this hybrid device?
This unit combines both functions: the Session Border Controller manages SIP signaling, security, and interoperability between different VoIP networks, while the media gateway handles voice media conversion between IP and traditional telephony formats. The hybrid approach simplifies deployment by reducing separate hardware requirements.
How does the cellular connectivity enhance this gateway's functionality?
GSM and LTE cellular connectivity provides backup communication paths when primary Ethernet connections fail, ensuring business continuity. This feature also enables deployment in remote locations without wired network infrastructure, expanding the gateway's applicability to mobile or temporary installations.
