The ION C6310-3340 is a chassis-based media converter module that provides an interface between a twisted pair RJ-11 port and a fiber port, allowing users to connect central-office voice grade signals to distant Plain Old Telephone equipment (POTS) utilizing standard telephone signaling. Two units are required to implement an end to end system. The first unit connects to a telephone line or PBX and is configured to act as a telephone (FXO Mode) and has the ability to detect ringing voltages. The second unit is the reciprocal unit and is configured to have the ability to act as a Central Office and connects to a telephone device (FXS Mode).
Together, the modules allow legacy analog phone lines to be extended over fiber for both permanent installations as well as temporary job-site installations.
