FXO Settings
The FXO Settings are used to configure the FXO support that allows Quadro to connect to other PBXs or analog telephone lines. The FXO Settings
also give a possibility to limit incoming or outgoing calls for the selected FXO line if required. Depending on the Quadro model, several FXO ports will
be available on the board, thus giving the possibility to connect several PSTN lines to the Quadro and to use them simultaneously.
The administrator may assign a default recipient for each FXO line, where calls from the Central Office (PSTN) will be routed to. The assigned
recipients become the Quadro “default users”. If the Quadro Auto Attendant has been selected as “default user”, a caller from the PSTN needs to go
through the attendant menu to reach the desired extension.
The FXO Settings page lists the available local FXO lines,
shared FXO lines on the remote devices (if any) and their
settings. If the FXO service has been disabled, the Allowed
Call Type, Route Incoming Call to and PSTN number
columns are set to N/A.
Clicking on the FXO line number will open the FXO Settings -
FXO# page where the FXO line settings may be modified. If
Sharing Mode is enabled and local Quadro provides its FXO
lines to the remote device, no FXO lines’ settings can be
modified on the local Quadro, all shared FXO lines can be
only configured from the remote device then. Any
modifications in the shared FXO line’s settings on the master
Quadro will be immediately reflected in the FXO Settings
table on the slave Quadro.

The Enable FXO checkbox selection activates FXO support for the selected FXO line.
The Allowed Call Type is used to choose the allowed call directions for the corresponding FXO line. The administrator may choose between:
• Enabling incoming calls (prohibiting outgoing calls) for the selected FXO line.
• Enabling outgoing calls (prohibiting incoming calls) for the selected FXO line.
• Enabling both incoming and outgoing calls for the selected FXO line.
The Route incoming FXO Call to manipulation radio buttons
group allows to define the destination where incoming calls
addressed to the corresponding FXO line will be forward to.
• Extension – selection allows to choose the local PBX user
or auto attendant extension to forward calls to. If inactive
extension is chosen from this list, the voice mail system will
answer the call addressed to the corresponding FXO line. If
Auto Attendant extension is chosen, it will become the
“default user” of corresponding FXO line on the Quadro.
• Routing – selection allows to forward the incoming calls to
the destination defined through
Call Routing. Selection
requires to enter a routing pattern to the corresponding
field. Based on the registered PSTN users, caller will be
able to reach the destination according to configuration in
Call Routing Table.
By choosing a destination, the Quadro administrator virtually
assigns a default number that will start ringing whenever a call is
initiated to the Quadro’s PSTN number.

PSTN Number text field allows entering the PSTN number current FXO line is attached to. Field value is optional, used as an identification
parameter for FXO lines and can be empty.
Alternative AC Termination Mode appears if the local country (Germany, Israel, France, etc.) selected for Quadro has two kinds of COs that use
different types of AC termination. Contact your CO to learn about your AC termination mode. Selecting the checkbox may help if the voice quality
over FXO is poor or echo is noticed.
Sharing Mode link refers to page where local FXO lines can be shared or remote Quadro’s FXO lines can be configured to be used by the local
Quadro.
