FortiVoice Phone System Administration Guide

Managing PRI gateways

Managing PRI gateways

The FortiVoice primary rate interface (PRI) gateway works in conjunction with your FortiVoice phone system to expand resources and support additional phone lines. With a PRI gateway, you connect your legacy telephony infrastructure composed of PRI (T1 or E1) digital lines to a FortiVoice phone system.

PRI 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 PRI gateway models are the FortiVoice Gateway GT01 and GT02.
