To use a single, generic SIP handset to configure multi-port FXS gateways:
FXS SIP gateway configurations use generic SIP handsets. This is done by creating one
generic SIP handset per gateway port. For example: a 24-port gateway would use 24
generic SIP handsets. An alternative is to create one generic SIP handset with the
number of lines (up to 24) equal to the number of FXS ports.
1. Log in to the Allworx server admin page, navigate to Phone System > Handsets,
and locate the SIP Handsets section.
2. Click the add new Generic SIP Handset link. The SIP Handset page displays. If
the link is unavailable, purchase more licenses.
3. Fill in the fields in the SIP Handset section. The system requires an entry in the
Description field.
4. Locate the Handset Configuration section, and enter the number of gateway ports
available on the gateway device in the Number of Lines field (example: 6). This
adds a generic SIP handset for each call appearances. Each call appearance
represents a different port on the gateway.
5. Enter a unique Login ID and Password for the phone to authenticate with the
server. Do not use the same Login ID on multiple phones.
6. Click Add to add the new handset to server. The handsets page displays.
7. Click the Modify link to configure each call appearance, as needed. For example:
the Allworx Server Administrator can assign users to each call appearance. The
following graphic displays two users assigned to the first two call appearances,
which are the first two ports on the gateway.
Note:
Allworx limits 6x12 servers to a maximum of two (2) generic SIP phones. Since the
Allworx Server Administrator can install two without a license, 6x12 servers does not
require feature keys.
