Configuring stations

This section explains how to configure the Remote Office 9150 unit so that it
can:
n
route calls between the stations at your site and the host PBX
Each station is associated with a port on the RLC, and can be configured
with different capabilities.
n
make calls through the local PSTN or to other stations at the Remote Office
9150 site
If resources on the RLC on the host PBX allow, you can configure up to
32 telephone stations plus one analog device (such as an analog telephone or fax
machine). This configuration assumes that none of the stations are equipped
with Analog Telephone Adapters (ATAs) or Meridian Communication Adapters
(MCAs).
Bridge Ports
Bridge Ports are proxy ports that represent local calls or inbound PSTN calls to
the PBX. When a local call on a Remote Office 9150 unit needs PBX services,
the Bridge Port obtains a PBX presence on behalf of the local call.
When configuring Bridge Ports:
n
Consider the number of simultaneous remote service telephone calls and
the number of bridge ports in use when determining PSTN or IP bandwidth
needs.
n
Remember that every local ISDN call reduces the PSTN bandwidth
available for remote service telephone calls and bridge ports when
determining needed PSTN bandwidth.
