FreeRide Example Solutions:
Remote Dial Tone

In city “B”, you will require a physical location for a small amount of equipment, as little as a leased space in a communications closet.

In the closet, a compact QTelNet FreeRide FXO-1301 Gateway is plugged into a local city “B” public phone line. The gateway is also connected via its Ethernet port to broadband Internet access. In such a case as this, it may simply be a dedicated connection to a cable or DSL modem.

In city “A”, a number of options exist for completing the connection. In our example, we will use a FreeRide FXS-1401 Gateway, connecting it to one or two of the trunk lines of the switchboard (PBX). The gateway is connected via its Ethernet port to broadband Internet access, typically a shared resource accessed via the office network.

Once the system is set up, anyone in your office in city “A” will be able to pick up their desk phone and get a dial tone in city “B”, where they can place unlimited toll-free calls.

And, callers in city “B” can dial a local number and the call will arrive, toll-free, at your PBX in city “A”. Ideal for tech support!

Variations on a theme:

No switchboard?
A small office may not require a switchboard. In this case, an analog telephone can be connected directly to the FXS-1401, or you can use an IP-1302 or IP-2302 telephone in place of this combination.
