    System security This section describes the security levels that are supported for controlling access from the Remote Gateway 9150 unit to the RLC on the host PBX. No security When no security measures are used, the RLC accepts all incoming calls from the Remote Gateway 9150 site.
  • Page 41: Trunk Connections

    Configure all other BRI modules as Local only. For Remote Gateway 9150 units with just one BRI module the BRI module can be configured as Local only or Remote only. If local ISDN calls and remote calls over PSTN are required, then MSN must be enabled.
  • Page 42: 64K (56K) Dynamic Adaptation

    Connection types The Remote Gateway 9150 connection to the RLC can be defined on the RLC as permanent or on demand. A permanent connection means that the ISDN connection to the host PBX always remains open. An on demand connection means that the ISDN connection is established only when a connection with the host PBX is required.
  • Page 43: Idle Timer

    If another call is made to the host PBX before the timer expires, the timer is reset. The timer tracks the current call. Idle timer The idle timer identifies the maximum length of time that an ISDN connection remains idle before Remote Gateway 9100 Series closes it. Idle means that a voice connection exists but is not active, and buttons are not being pressed on digital telephones.
  • Page 44: How The Remote Gateway 9150 Unit Works

    How the Remote Gateway 9150 unit works There are two major components to the Remote Gateway 9150 product: the Remote Gateway 9150 unit located in your office the RLC located on the PBX at the host site These two components, along with the connection options described on page 10, extend the host PBX services to users in your office.
  • Page 45: Outgoing Call Process

    When a user places a call through the host PBX to a user at the Remote Gateway 9150 site, a connection is made from the RLC to the Remote Gateway 9150 unit and the host PBX completes the call. If a connection cannot be established, then the call rings until it is forwarded to voice mail by the host PBX.
  • Page 46: Bridge Port

    A Bridge Port is a proxy port that represents a local or inbound PSTN call to the host PBX. When a local incoming call on a Remote Gateway 9150 unit needs PBX services, the Bridge Port obtains a PBX presence on behalf of the local call.
