[Asterisk-doc] For Review: Updates/Rewrites of some terms found in the 'Glossary of Asterisk & Telecom Terms'

[Scott Edwards]

** FXO **

Foreign EXchange Office, see also FXS.

An FXO device can be an analog phone, answering machine, fax, or anything that 
handles a call from the telephone company like one.  They should also operate 
the same way when connected to an FXS interface.

An FXO interface will accept calls from FXS or PSTN interfaces.  All countries 
and regions have their own standards.

FXO is complimentary to FXS (and the PSTN).

** FXS **

Foreign EXchange Station, see also FXO

An FXS device has hardware to generate the ring signal an FXO extension 
(usually an analog phone).

An FXS device will allow any FXO device to operate as if it were connected to 
the phone company.  This makes your PBX the POTS+PSTN for the phone.

The FXS Interface connects to FXO devices (by an FXO interface, of course)


You'll have to touch up the formatting, but that should be cake.  My intent 
was to keep it as clear as possible, not all as one paragraph.  The defs are 
encased, asterisks, what else?

Eg:

** TERM **

A TERM is bla bla ...





Enjoy,
