Planning for your remote service needs

Plan for your remote service needs by determining the total number of
simultaneous remote service telephone calls you want to support on your
network. This number tells you how many RLC ports that you need.
RLC requirements
Once you have determined the total number of RLC ports that you need in your
remote service network, you can determine the number and size of RLCs needed
at your host site.
Every 16 remote service ports in your network requires one card slot in the host
PBX and 16 ports on an RLC. If you want your network to support more than 16
remote service ports, you need at least one 32-port RLC.
