Online/Offline Schedule - Nortel RLC Installation And Administration Manual

Planning for RLC installation
Call-on-demand
The RLC supports full call-on-demand (COD) capability. In COD mode, the
RLC does not establish a connection to the remote site until the remote unit
places a call to a host DN. For further information on the RLC's COD
functionality, refer to "Call on-demand" on page 25.

Online/offline schedule

You can configure an online/offline schedule on the RLC to control when
remote sites can place and receive calls through the host PBX.
Note: Online/offline schedules configured for Remote Gateway 9150 units
affect all users connected to that unit.
Configure offline entries for the following situations:
to restrict remote users from placing or receiving calls at certain times, such
as during evenings and weekends
to eliminate unwanted telephone access charges by preventing remote sites
from staying online permanently
When the RLC processes an offline entry, it instructs the remote site to go
offline for a certain number of hours and minutes. That number is the difference
between the offline entry being processed and the next online entry.
For example, suppose you configure an offline entry for 6:00 p.m. and the next
online entry for 9:00 a.m. the next day. When the RLC processes the 6:00 p.m.
entry, it instructs the remote site to go offline for 15 hours.
When going offline, the system activates a timer at the remote site. When the
timer expires (in the example above, at 9:00 a.m.), the remote site initiates a
"going online" request to the host PBX. If the RLC successfully receives the
request, the remote site and its telephones go online.
