© 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.ONT v Summary Companies can benefit from a common infrastructure that serves voice and data. Advantages of such converged networks include lower costs, more efficient use of available bandwidth, and higher productivity. A packet telephony network consists of endpoints (such as IP phones, software phones, and video endpoints) and voice network devices (such as gateways, gatekeepers, conference bridges, call agents, and application servers). A voice gateway can use FXS, FXO, and E&M interfaces to connect to analog equipment, such as phones, PBXs, or the PSTN. A voice gateway can use BRI, T1, and E1 interfaces to connect to digital equipment, such as ISDN phones, PBXs, or the PSTN. A voice call consists of three stages: call setup, call maintenance, and call teardown. With distributed call control, each gateway has local intelligence to route calls, while with centralized call control, a call agent makes call routing decisions on behalf of all the gateways that are controlled by the call agent.
