Managing FXS gateways

The FortiVoice foreign exchange subscriber (FXS) gateway works in conjunction with the FortiVoice phone system to expand resources and support additional analog phone extensions. With the FXS gateway, you can connect your traditional analog phones and fax machines to a FortiVoice phone system.

FXS 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.

The supported Fortinet FXS gateway models are the following FortiVoice Gateways GS04, GS16, and GS24.

To deploy a FXS gateway

For detailed instructions about deploying an FXS gateway, see the FortiVoice FXS Gateway Deployment Guide.

Each port has an extension number.
