It provides Voice over IP, FAX over IP, and Modem/POS services. It also supports multiple codecs and has good compatibility with leading softswitches and IMS systems.

Common Issues and Solutions

Issue 1: Call Drop

One of the most common issues users face is call drop. This could be due to a variety of reasons, including network instability, incorrect configuration, or hardware issues.

Solution: Check your network connection and ensure that your gateway is correctly configured. If the issue persists, it might be a hardware issue, and you should contact DINSTAR support.

Issue 2: Poor Call Quality

Poor call quality could be due to network congestion, packet loss, or jitter.

Solution: Check your network for any congestion. You can also adjust the jitter buffer settings on your gateway.

Issue 3: No Dial Tone

If there's no dial tone, it could be due to an issue with the FXS port or the phone itself.

Solution: Check the connection of your phone to the FXS port. If the issue persists, try connecting another phone to the FXS port to rule out any issues with the phone itself.

Advanced Troubleshooting

For more complex issues, it's recommended to use the troubleshooting tools provided by DINSTAR. These include call trace/syslog, call test, network capture, signaling hunter, and system snapshot. These tools can help diagnose and resolve issues more effectively.
