After Virtual Office login, the Branch Office does not start the redirection procedure to the Main
Office for a logged in set immediately. A phone configured on the Main Office TN (MOTN) must
match the phone type on Branch Office. For example, the IP Phone 2004 cannot register in normal
mode if the Main Office is configured for IP Phone 2002 and the IP Phone 2002 cannot register in
normal mode if the Main Office is configured for IP Phone 2001.
If the network is using CDP, the Network Ring Again (NRGN) feature does not work for a Branch
User in Local Mode. In the CDP environment, the NRS database configures the main office as the
endpoint for the Branch User DN. The Virtual Trunk obtains the endpoint of NRGN response
messages from the NRS. It sends admission requests to the NRS with the Branch User DN. The
NRS returns the address associated with the destination DN. In this case, the returned address is
that of the main office.
Users in a Branch Office cannot access their Personal Directory, Callers List, or Recall List when in
Local Mode, because the lists are stored on a Signaling Server in the main office.
Important:
As per PD/CL/Rl these features are not supported in Local Mode (on MG1000B) to avoid
confusion. These features are available only in Normal mode.
Licensing
A licensing feature for the IP Phones in the Branch Office notifies Branch Office administrators of a
license violation; the extended use of Branch Office Internet Telephones in Local Mode.
Operation of IP Phones in Local Mode is meant to provide survivability during conditions of network
failure only. It is not intended for prolonged operations. Therefore, a Licensing Period of 90 days is
allowed for MG 1000B IP Phones to stay in Local Mode. When the Licensing Period expires, a
BUG0103 system message is written to the MG 1000B Call Server log file. The message is also
printed on the teletype terminal (TTY). The IP Phones are reset at the end of every call, and try to
register with the main office.
When nine or fewer days remain on the licensing feature, IP Phones display a "Licensed days left:
n" message to indicate how many days you can use the MG 1000B IP Phone in Local Mode. This
message also appears as a banner when the technician logs into a maintenance terminal. After the
Licensing Period has expired, IP Phones in Local Mode display "Beyond Licensed Period".
Licensing is based on a debit-and-credit system for the amount of time the IP Phones have been
registered to the main office or Branch Office. Credits are in two-hour units. After a software
upgrade, 1080 initial credits, equivalent to a 90-day period, are provided. The total credits are
decreased by one every time five or less IP Phones stay in Local Mode for two hours. The total
credits are increased by one for every two hours that five or less IP Phones are registered with the
main office. Total credits cannot exceed 1080 credits, or 90 days.
The licensing feature applies only if more than four IP Phones are in Local Mode at the same time. If
four or fewer phones are in Local Mode simultaneously, the licensing feature is not activated.
