The dial tone generated by a PSTN connection or a PBX can be extended over the Internet or an Intranet by using a pair of Smartnode 452x units or a Smartnode 452x and a Smartlink 402x unit. This FAQ describes how to perform dial tone extension using a Smartnode 452x and a Smartlink 402x. Smartnode to Smartnode configuration information is available under "Line Extensions" of the SN452x applications notes page. Once the setup is complete, the end user will be able to lift the handset on the analog phone, hear the dial tone from the PSTN or PBX and then dial a number just as if they were directly connected to the PSTN or PBX. Flash-hook is supported so features like call waiting and call hold will work. Tax pulse tone (not typically used in the USA) is not supported. The guide below assumes that WAN and LAN connectivity has already been established.
