Key Features & What You Get

• The DS Series Voice Gateways from Dasscom include multiple port densities (4FXS, 8FXS, 16FXS, 32FXS) for analog devices to IP/VoIP networks. hubrisindia.in+3Imimg+3dasscom.com+3

• For the 8-port variant (DS-8FXS) you get:

  • 8 × FXS ports (for connecting analogue phones, faxes, POS machines) — as per reseller listing. hubrisindia.in+1

  • Standard telephony features: Caller ID (CLI), call transfer, etc. (Reseller listing mentions “Caller id Display. Call Transfer.”) hubrisindia.in

  • SIP / VoIP gateway support: The series supports SIP protocol, so these analog devices get bridged to IP/VoIP. dasscom.com+1

  • Web-based management, likely support for configuration through UI (common in the series).

• Because it’s a smaller port version it’s suited for smaller offices/branches that need up to ~8 analog extensions to connect to VoIP infrastructure rather than many dozens.

⚠️ Important Specifications & Considerations

While I couldn’t find a complete detailed spec sheet just for the 8FXS, from the series datasheet (for 32S and general DS series) you can infer/verify these key parameters:

• Analog line characteristics: The FXS ports must supply line voltage, ring voltage, etc to analogue handset/fax. The series documentation implies this. dasscom.com+1

• Fax support: If you have fax machines, ensure the gateway supports T.38 or a reliable analog pass-through. The series mentions fax devices. dasscom.com

• Network Interface: Typically 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports for WAN/LAN traffic, as in other DS models.

• Power & Environment: The series spec sheet lists operating temperature, etc (for larger models). For smaller one, expect similar: e.g., 0-60 °C or -10-60°C, humidity non-condensing. dasscom.com

• Simultaneous Calls & Load: Although 8 ports exist, verify how many concurrent calls it supports and what’s the performance under full load (voice + fax). The spec sheet for 32-port model shows full capacity; for 8-port it should be proportionally less.

• Compatibility with India: Ensure the phone sets/faxes you intend to attach are compatible with the FXS line voltage/impedance of the unit for India.
