I have a SPA 3000 set up in a foreign country A. I have got a VOIP account from country B and from country B i can dial from any PSTN phone the VOIP number provided to ring the Phone connected to FXS port in the SPA 3000 in country A, the call is charged at local call rate from country B.

From country B I want to be able to access the PSTN/FXO port in SPA 3000 to make calls interanlly in country A only when i need, without ringing the phone connected to FXS. How do i select whether to ring phone in FXS or get dialtone from FXO. From my side in country B i will use any PSTN phone and dial the VOIP phone number.

There is an option where i can call forward through PSTN/FXO if FXS is not answered after so many rings, but i want to access selectively FXO/PSTN when i need without ringing the FXS line.

Any suggestion on how to do this would be highly appreciated.

There are two VoIP sides to the SPA3000: the side that's attached to the FXS port (usually listening on port 5060), and the side that's attached to the FXO gateway (usually listening on port 5061). It sounds like you're calling the wrong side.

If you are going through some sort of external service provider to call the SPA3000, BOTH sides of the SPA3000 will need to register with the service provider using different accounts.
