PSTN Pass-through
PSTN
pass-through can best be described as a call waiting function, i.e. the ability
to receive incoming calls whilst engaged in another phone call.
Scenario 1: Your analog phone
attached to the V300 is in an on-hook state, and a call from the PSTN network
is made to your landline number.
- In this scenario the analog phone will ring.
To answer the incoming call you simply pick up the handset and talk.
Scenario 2: User on a VoIP call
receives incoming call from the PSTN network
- In this scenario you are using your VoIP service to speak with another
person.
During the call you receive another call from a PSTN service.
You will be notified by single beep tones approximately 1 second apart
for this incoming call.
To answer the incoming call you must disconnect (hang up) your current
call at which point your phone will ring for the incoming call.
Scenario 3: User on a PSTN call
receives another call from the VoIP network
- In this scenario you are using your PSTN service to speak with a
person on another PSTN phone.
During the call you receive an incoming call from another VoIP phone.
You will not be notified of the incoming call and the caller will
receive an engaged signal.
Scenario 4: User on a PSTN call
receives another call from PSTN service
- Incoming calls are handled according to your PSTN provider's call
waiting features.
Scenario 5: User on a VoIP call
receives another VoIP call
- In this scenario you are using your VoIP service to speak with another
person.
During the call you receive an incoming call from another VoIP phone.
Notification of the incoming call will depend on the call waiting
features of the VoIP network.
