FXS gateways

FXS gateways are used to convert standard analogue telephones into VoIP phones.

Some gateways can also support pre-paid calling card applications through DUAL Talk.  In this mode, a caller is prompted for a card number and PIN.  You are able to generate rechargeable calling cards through DUAL Talk's reseller programme.

The following sections show our detailed observations for variously scaled solutions:

1 port

We recommend the Sipura SPA-1001.  This is a single port SIP compliant gateway.

Quality

This gateway provides good voice quality through the use of the G.729 codec.

FAX

Limited fax is supported through the G.711 codec, but has a very high bandwidth requirement of 80 kbps when used for fax.  The gateway can be configured to use this higher bandwidth codec for all calls, or on a per-call basis using a dial prefix.

Calling card

This gateway does not support DUAL Talk calling cards.

Configuration

We may, at our discretion, remotely configure this gateway for operation on DUAL Talk.   Before we can do this, you will need to have connected the gateway to your network and to have performed any necessary port forwarding on your router so that we can reach the gateway's configuration web page.  Configuration guidelines are also available online.

Price

We do not supply this gateway.  It is available from a number of sources, and you can expect to pay approximately USD 100.

2 ports - solution 1

We recommend the Quintum AFG200.  This is a two port H.323 compliant gateway.

Quality

This gateway provides good voice quality through the use of the G.729 codec.

FAX

Full fax support is provided through the T.38 protocol.

Calling card

This gateway supports rechargeable pre-paid calling cards in conjunction with the DUAL Talk reseller programme.  It includes local voice prompts and RADIUS support for authentication of callers against our customer database.

Configuration

If we supply this gateway, then we will pre-configure it for use with DUAL Talk before we dispatch it to you.  If you purchase a Quintum gateway from another supplier, you will need to make your own arrangements for its configuration.

Price

We can supply a Quintum ASG200 as part of a hardware, configuration and call minutes package.  Please click here for more information and pricing on our packages.

2 ports - solution 2

We recommend the Sipura SPA-2000.  This is a 2 port SIP compliant gateway.

Quality

This gateway suffers from the same limitation as the Cisco ATA-186.  That is, it only has one G.729 resource available.  If you plan on using both ports, then you will need to disable the G.729 codec, in which case, calls will be made using the G.723.1 codec.  Although reasonable, call quality is slightly degraded when using the G.723.1 codec compared with the G.729 codec.

FAX

Limited fax is supported through the G.711 codec, but has a very high bandwidth requirement of 80 kbps when used for fax.  The gateway can be configured to use this higher bandwidth codec for all calls, or on a per-call basis using a dial prefix.

Calling card

This gateway does not support DUAL Talk calling cards.

Configuration

We may, at our discretion, remotely configure this gateway for operation on DUAL Talk.   Before we can do this, you will need to have connected the gateway to your network and to have performed any necessary port forwarding on your router so that we can reach the gateway's configuration web page.  Configuration guidelines are also available online.
