Re: VOIP FXS Gateways that support SIP

["Dan" <dtoma@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Andy,

What is this Q number?
How can you set it in the soft phone... let's say X-Lite or in a hardware
one (like Cisco 7960)?
I think I have missed something in between.

Thanks,
Dan

comes  in Setting the 'likelyhood of me being here' or Q value means that
phones will ring in order of the likelyhood of  finding you.. eventually
all
phones will be ringing so you can pick up at any location - These locations
can be metres, or kilometers apart. The plus point here can be that you can
have a sip phone in the bedroom with a Q value of 0.1 and it will be the
last to ring, and thus less likely to disturb those sleeping in, but still
ringing just in case of emergencies... What's more with FXS/FXO gateway
combinations added you can have the sip phones ring first by setting their
Q
values to 1, set one port on the gateway to a Q value of say 0.5 and it
point at your mobile, making it ring if the sip phones arent answered.
