Port sharing options

The RLC allows you to take maximum advantage of your host PBX's port
resources regardless of what time it is or who is working. Dynamic port pooling
and multi-user ports allow more than one person or station to use the same port
on the host PBX. Dynamic port pooling and multi-user ports allow for more
flexible, less restrictive use of the corporate telecommunications network.

Dynamic port pooling

Dynamic port pooling allows multiple users or stations to time-share the same
port on the host PBX. No correlation exists between a user or station and the TN
or DN on the host PBX when no one is registered.
When users share ports in a dynamic pool register, they receive the next
available port in the pool regardless of that port's TN or DN. Users register by
entering the Registration SPRE (Special Prefix) code on their telephone keypad.
Refer to the Installation and Administration Guide for your specific Remote
Gateway 9100 Series unit for details.
Note: If there are no available ports in the pool when a user tries to register, that
user hears a fast busy signal.
When users press the primary DN key on their digital telephone set to place an
outgoing call, they receive the DN assigned to them at registration. While
registered, users also receive all calls placed to that DN. When users are ready to
release their ports on the host PBX, they enter the deregistration SPRE code.
This allows registering users to access that port.
Multi-user ports
Like dynamic port pooling, multi-user ports also allow multiple users or stations
to time-share ports on the host PBX. With a multi-user port, however, there is a
specific correlation between the user or physical station and the TN or DN on
the host PBX. The host PBX blocks users configured to a multi-user port from
accessing that port if another configured user is currently registered to the port.
Multi-user ports are available only to users specifically configured to the ports.
While multiple users in a dynamic port pool can be active at the same time, only
one user can be active on a multi-user port.
