In an RPE configuration, the common equipment site is the "local" site; the
site without common equipment is the "remote" site.
If the distance between local and remote sites is more than 726 m (2500 ft),
an office repeater bay (ORB) is required to effectively isolate the carrier span
from the Meridian 1 equipment (see Figure 124). An ORB provides:
— span line powering
— error monitoring
— fault-locate system access
— order-wire termination with DID access
— line looping
