Why Offline Mode Is Important; What Controls The Online And Offline Modes - Nortel Remote Gateway 9110 Installation And Administration Manual

Using the digital telephone

Why offline mode is important

Your organization is concerned about telephone costs and, as such, wants to
ensure that the PSTN line at your site is used for host-controlled calls during
business hours only. This is especially important when the PSTN connection
between the host PBX and your site is defined as permanent (always on) rather
than on demand. A permanent PSTN connection means the line remains active
all the time and incurs charges unless it is put into offline mode.

What controls the online and offline modes

The online and offline modes can be controlled by one or both of the following:
online/offline schedule configured for your site on the RLC at the host PBX
special prefix (SPRE) codes configured on the Remote Gateway 911x
series unit at your site
For more information, refer to "SPRE Codes: Online" on page 112 and "SPRE
Codes: Offline" on page 112.
