An FXO interface will accept calls from FXS or PSTN interfaces. All countries and regions
have their own standards.
FXO is complimentary to FXS (and the PSTN).
FXS
Foreign eXchange Station
An FXS device has hardware to generate the ring signal to the FXO extension (usually an
analog phone).
An FXS device will allow any FXO device to operate as if it were connected to the phone
company. This makes your PBX the POTS+PSTN for the phone.
The FXS Interface connects to FXO devices (by an FXO interface, of course).
DHCP
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an Internet protocol for automating the
configuration of computers that use TCP/IP. DHCP can be used to automatically assign IP
addresses, to deliver TCP/IP stack configuration parameters such as the subnet mask and
default router, and to provide other configuration information such as the addresses for printer,
time and news servers.
ECHO CANCELLATION
Echo Cancellation is used in telephony to describe the process of removing echo from a voice
communication in order to improve voice quality on a telephone call . In addition to improving
quality, this process improves bandwidth savings achieved through silence suppression by
preventing echo from traveling across a network .
There are two types of echo of relevance in telephony: acoustic echo and hybrid echo. Speech
compression techniques and digital processing delay often contribute to echo generation in
telephone networks .
