  20. The “Leaky” PBX Enterprise Network Enterprise Network FXO Lines PSTN Network Side Digital Trunks IP Network Ethernet Ethernet • Using Legacy PBX Routing functionality, users may dial a prefix to bypass the PSTN • Calls are routed via VoIP to remote locations/countries • Standard PSTN Toll charges are bypassed • “Enterprising Enterprises” resell the ability to terminate calls on their local PSTN connection so other VoIP users can benefit (not necessarily legal)

  21. What We’ll Cover… • What’s inside the PSTN? • What’s inside the IP network? • VoIP gateways • Connecting the IP network to the PSTN • Bandwidth • Remote PSTN users – “The Old Way” • Remote VoIP users – “The New Way” • Remote PSTN locations – “The Old Way” • Remote VoIP locations – “The New Way” • Do I need a Softswitch? • Do I need a VoIP carrier?

  22. Bandwidth Requirements Enterprise Network Enterprise Network FXO Lines PSTN Network Side Digital Trunks IP Network Ethernet Ethernet • Calculate the number of calls that you will be making simultaneously over your IP connection • Estimate approximately 80-90 kbps uncompressed per call • A T3 (28 T1s) of voice will fill a 100 Mb Ethernet link

  23. Bandwidth Requirements • Most cable modems provide asymmetrical bandwidth • 3 Mb downstream is popular • 256K upstream is typical • Don’t expect to force an entire trunk worth of voice through a cable modem or DSL Cable Modem 256K Upstream Vega 400 Trunking VoIP Gateway E1 PRI

  25. POTS Line connected to a PBX/CO PBX/CO POTS Line • The Switch provides the “Talk Battery” to power a phone • The switch provides the dial tone • The phone generates the digits

  26. Foreign Exchange Office (FXO) PBX/CO FXO Private Network • Foreign Exchange Office (FXO) • Emulates a telephone set connects to a standard line side interface • of the PBX or central office • This is the way that Interexchange carriers were forced to connect with AT&T before equal access • Carriers would purchase simple lines in each city to create a POP • These lines were directly connected into their switching networks • Subscribers dialed 7-digit access numbers to receive dial tone from the carrier

  27. Foreign Exchange Station (FXS) FXS POTS Line Private Network Foreign Exchange Station (FXS) Emulates a switch port connects to a standard telephone line Signaling can be loop start or ground start

  28. Extensions use a combination of FXO and FXS PBX/CO FXO FXS POTS Line Private Network Combination of FXO/FXS allows a remote station to appear as a standard line: • Foreign Exchange Office (FXO) • Emulates a telephone set connects to a standard line side interface • of the PBX/CO • Foreign Exchange Station (FXS) • Emulates a switch port connects to a standard telephone line • Signaling can be loop start or ground start
