I would like to be able to push one button and immediately get a dial tone from the PSTN so that I can make calls. I DO NOT have SIP server.

Sounds like you want to do something like press "9" for an outside line and then dial number......
This can be accomplished by using a combination of features on the Smartlink phones or gateways along with a Smartnode serving as the gateway to the PSTN. The resulting design results in two calls being made - one SIP call from the Smartlink device to the SmartNode gateway and a second PSTN call from the Smartnode gateway to the destination address on the PSTN.
How it works- The SL4050/SL4020 makes a SIP call to the Smartnode when the speed dial button is pushed. The Smartnode accepts the SIP call and presents dial tone from the FXO line. The user enters the number to be dialed which is transmitted as DMTF tones to the Smartnode that passes the tones to the PSTN. The PSTN completes the call to the number dialed.
Since there isn't SIP server, direct IP address or DNS calling can be used to send the SIP call directly to a Smartnode gateway with an PSTN connection.
To make calling easier on on the end user associate a speed dial button, like the telephone keypad number "9", with the IP address or DNS name of Smartnode.
Optionally the SL4050/10 phone has 10 line buttons that can be set as speed dial buttons. All the end user would do is push a line button and the next thing they would hear is a PSTN dial tone pass through by the Smartnode.
Please see the "FXO Interface Configuration" in the Smartnode configuration guide for information on setting up the Smartnode to pass dialtone from the PSTN to a SIP call.
From the SL4050 web configuration interface -

  1. Select Line Key Settings

  2. Pick a free line key and select "one touch dial"

  3. Enter the DNS name or IP address of the Smartnode gateway that has the PSTN FXO connection

  4. Click on "submit" to save the changes
