Terminating Gateway Calls

There are two call legs in a PSTN gateway call: the PSTN call leg and the VoIP call
leg. A gateway call is terminated when either call leg is ended. When the call
terminates, the FXO port goes on-hook so the PSTN line can be used again. The
ATA device detects that the PSTN call leg is ended when one of the following
conditions occurs during a call:
•
The PSTN Line voltage drops to a very low value (this occurs if the line is
disconnected from the PSTN service or if the PSTN switch provides a CPC
signal).
•
A polarity reversal or disconnect tone is detected at the FXO port.
•
There is no voice activity for a configurable period of time in either direction
at the FXO port.
When any of the above conditions occur, the ATA device takes the FXO port on
hook and sends a BYE request to end the VoIP call leg. On the other hand, when
the ATA device receives a SIP BYE from the VoIP during a call, it takes the FXO port
on hook to end the PSTN call leg.
In addition, the ATA device can also send a refresh signal periodically to the VoIP
call leg to determine whether the call leg is still up. If a refresh operation fails, the
ATA device ends both call legs.
The following table lists parameters for terminating gateway calls.
