FIGURE 1: CONNECTING THE HT503
The HT503 has one FXS port and one FXO port. The PHONE port next to the power supply is an FXS port. The LINE port on the back right of the HT503 is an FXO port. Both the FXS port and the FXO port can have a separate SIP account. This is a key feature of HT503 as it supports simultaneous calls on both the FXS port and FXO port. Telephone calls can be originated from or terminated on the PSTN network remotely via the FXO port.
