TsLinkNet – IP-PBX Voice to PSTN Connectivity Gateway







How to add revenue to your product line - without investing in software R & D.

IP-PBXs enable companies of any size to take advantage of the wide availability of broadband connections to offer low cost VoIP-based (Voice over Internet Protocol) calling plans. However, in order to connect VoIP calls to the millions of existing PSTN-based (Public Switched Telephone Network) telephones, switches and PBXs, it is necessary to provide a mechanism that converts VoIP signaling to PSTN signaling.

TeleSoft’s TsLinkNet IP-PBX Gateway solution provides this conversion, and enables OEMs, manufacturers and suppliers of IP-PBXs and telephony cards to easily add PSTN connectivity to their SIP-based IP-PBX products. TsLinkNet incorporates the key features necessary to connect SIP-based VoIP calls to the PSTN in most countries in the world. Because the TsLinkNet API consists of industry standard IETF SIP messages, it interfaces directly to existing SIP-enabled IP-PBXs, avoiding extra cost, delay and risk.

TsLinkNet runs alongside the IP-PBX software on the same PC/server platform and under the same Linux operating system as for the IP-PBX. TsLinkNet is easy to install with a standards-based SIP API that interfaces to the IP-PBX SIP without requiring any hardware connections, thus eliminating the need for, or usage of, Ethernet ports. This is a purely software socket connection internal to the host PC/server and does not involve the host network interface card.

TsLinkNet Functional Diagram

TsLinkNet IP-PBX Gateway is a software solution that takes the packetized SIP messages from the IP-PBX and translates them to the TDM (Time Division Multiplexed) messages used on the worldwide digital and analog PSTN networks. While most applications will require PRI ISDN other options include support for BRI, QSIG (the standard interface for PBX-to-PBX communications), T1 Robbed-Bit Signaling (used mainly in N. America as an alternative to ISDN) and E1 CAS R2 (widely used in S. America and Asia where ISDN is not deployed).

TsLinkNet takes advantage of existing proven TeleSoft TsLink3 stacks to provide a highly flexible solution that can be configured for virtually any telephone network in the world thus enabling manufacturers and suppliers to market and deploy their products on a worldwide basis.
