PSTN configuration

To allow a remote unit to establish PSTN connections with the RLC:
1 Click on the Enable option button located in the PSTN: Status section to
use the PSTN mode with the remote unit indicated in the Unit ID field.
2 Click on the Yes option button located in the PSTN: Configure section to
manually configure the PSTN number used by the RLC for initiating a
PSTN connection to the remote site.
3 Enter the PSTN number that the RLC must dial to connect to the remote
unit in the PSTN Number field.
You must configure PSTN numbers including, the ISDN numbers, in a specific
manner. Please read the following examples carefully.
Configuring seven-digit ISDN numbers
If the service documents supplied by the BRI service provider contain a seven-
digit ISDN number, then choose from among the following options to configure
the number on your Remote Gateway 9100 Series unit:
Remote Gateway 9150 unit BRI configuration
Configure the PSTN numbers with the seven digits provided by the Central
Office without area codes. For example:
— 5551000 configured against the corresponding B-channel, not
2145551000
RLC Remote Connection Configuration
Use the # delimiter to separate the Trunk Access code and area code part of
the PSTN number. For example:
— #9#5551000 (not 95551000) where "5551000" is the primary Remote
Gateway 9150 B-channel
— #91214#5551000 (if long distance between units), not 92145552000
RLC Network Port configuration
Enter the Network Port PSTN Number exactly as the Remote Gateway
9100 Series unit must dial it. For example:
— 5552000 (for seven-digit local call) where 5552000 is a PBX DID data
port number
— 12125552000 (if long distance)
