Local Calls
Local calls, as illustrated in Figure 3-1, occur between two telephones connected to one
Cisco voice-enabled router. This type of call is handled entirely by the router and does
not travel over an external network. Both telephones are directly connected to Foreign
Exchange Station (FXS) ports on the router.
