Managing FXO gateways

FXO Gateways connect your IP phone system to an outside telephone line. It allows you to connect the FXS port to the FXO port of the gateway, which then translates the analog phone line to a VoIP call.

The FortiVoice FVG-GO08 gateways can be auto discovered by the FortiVoice unit once they connect to it. You can also manually add gateways to be managed by the FortiVoice unit.

For FXO gateway deployment information, see FortiVoice FXO Gateway Deployment Guide.

To view the list of added GO08 gateways, go to Managed System > Gateway > FXO Gateway.
