Port Management - Nortel Remote Office 9150 Installation And Administration Manual

Call on demand versus permanent connections
The ISDN connection between the MIG RLC and Remote Office 9150 unit can
be a permanent or call on demand connection. The connection type is defined on
the MIG RLC port to which the Remote Office 9150 unit is assigned.
A permanent connection means the ISDN connection to the host PBX always
remains open. A call on demand connection means the ISDN connection opens
only when a connection with the host PBX is required.
If the connection is defined as call on demand, minimum call duration and idle
timers can be configured on the MIG RLC. This helps to reduce ISDN BRI
charges.

Port management

Each port on the MIG RLC can be defined as one of the following port types:
single-user port
Each single-user port supports one remote station at the Remote Office
9150 site.
multi-user voice port
Up to eight persons can share the same MIG RLC port, but not at the same
time. This port type is especially useful for employees who are working in
mutually exclusive shifts. All stations that use this type of port respond to
the same DN and have identical phoneset configurations.
a port in a dynamic port pool
This is similar to a multi-user port except that the persons who share ports
in a dynamic pool are assigned to the next available port in the MIG RLC
port pool. There is no correlation between the station and the port on the
MIG RLC.
This feature is especially useful in free-seated ACD environments where
agents log on to the host PBX using their agent IDs.
The MIG RLC administrator can tell you which port types are used by your
office.
