VoIP Base FXO Gateway Driver

Carousel is software to connect VoIP calls to ordinary telephone lines and vice versa using one of a number of professional telephony devices.

It works as a virtual FXO gateway. You install it as a service on any Windows PC. SIP protocol VoIP calls will be directed out to standard PSTN analog lines through the CAHTA, CallURL and Synway telephony boards (green line on diagram below). Likewise, calls made to a standard telephone line can be directed to an internal VoIP network configured with a virtual PBX (eg. Axon ) via a telephony device and the Carousel software (blue line on diagram below).

This is ideal for businesses that wish to take advantage of the emerging VoIP technology but still retain standard telephone line(s) for incoming and outgoing calls and where Broadband or a SIP Gateway providers are not available.

Carousel telephony adapter software is free.

Typical Applications

    * To create a 1 to 12 FXO gateway to route VoIP SIP calls to ordinary phone lines.
    * To run a VoIP Based PBX (eg. Axon) when no SIP Gateway or Broadband provider is available. ie. Where you want to use VoIP to route calls in a office but where all external calls are still on ordinary telephone lines.
    * To use an existing LAN network to route calls from a Virtual PBX.

This software is designed to be very easy and intuitive to use. Within minutes you will be able to setup the software and start making phone calls. A full list of features follow below but a quick way to try it out is to download and install now. You don't need to purchase and it only takes a couple of minutes to complete the process.
