Managing PRI gateways

VoIP PRI gateways seamlessly connect your legacy telephony infrastructure, made up of PRI (T1, E1) or BRI lines, to IP networks. Businesses with legacy phone equipment (such as a TDM PBX) can use PRI gateways to connect to SIP trunking services without altering their current network infrastructure.

The FortiVoice FVG-GT01 and GT02 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 detailed instructions about deploying a PRI gateway, see the FortiVoice PRI Gateway Deployment Guide.

To view the list of added GT01/02 gateways, go to Managed System > Gateway > PRI Gateway.
