In phone company lingo, your calls go to the central Office, and your phones are called Stations. so FXO goes to the Office and FXS goes to the Station.
Both of these are Foreign to your asterisk box (not part of the box) and you need to eXchange information (the phone call) with them. So what you have is: Foreign eXchange Office (FXO) Foreign eXchange Station (FXS) :) W Brian Franklin wrote: > A FXO interface 'expects' dial-tone, a FXS interface "supplies' dial-tone > > Brian > > -----Original Message----- > From: Erick Perez [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, July 07, 2006 9:57 AM > To: Commercial and Business-Oriented Asterisk Discussion > Subject: Re: [asterisk-biz] Re: Looking for FXO-to-IP > > FXS modules to conect to the panasonic? > If the panasonic has FXO ports to connect to the PSTN, why will I put > FXS cards in asterisk? > sorry to ask....just want to be clear. > _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
