Configuring the RLC

RLC port configuration

Ports on the RLC can be configured as one of the following ports:
Remote ports provide host-PBX access to a remote user station. Configure
at least one Remote port for each remote unit (Remote Gateway 9150,
9115, 9110 unit, or Digital Telephone IP Adapter) and for each Bridge port
configured on a Remote Gateway 9150 unit.
Note: Bridge ports, configured on Remote Gateway 9150 units, allow the
9150 unit to give incoming, local, PSTN calls access to the following PBX
features: Transfer, Call Forward, and Conference.
Network ports establish PSTN connections between the RLC and its remote
units.
Note: A common mistake in programming a PSTN connection is to enable
only a single port (typically Port 16) on the RLC. Keep in mind, that one
port must be programmed for each ISDN call that the Remote Gateway
9150 unit can place to the PBX. Note that typically a BRI line from a CO
has the capability of placing two ISDN calls (2 B-channels) and therefore
would require two network ports to be configured on the RLC. Refer to the
PBX configuration notes for Class of Service requirements.
Local ports provide local digital telephone connections directly to the RLC.
The following table describes port number ranges and how they can be
configured.
Ports
0 through 15 and
32 through 47
186
can be assigned to
digital telephone sets that are assigned to remote
users.
Note: The associated ports on the host PBX must
be configured with voice capability.
