Remote Gateway 9150 Installation and Administration Guide 261
January 2005 Using Remote Gateway 9150 stations
Locally controlled mode
Locally controlled mode means that the Remote Gateway 9150 unit at your site
controls the following:
!
calls to other stations at this site
!
calls that are made to or received from your community through your local
telephone service provider
Local calling at the Remote Gateway 9150 unit always results in a call’s being
placed to the first port with the dialed number. Remote Gateway 9100 Series
does not support multiple DN appearances for local calling on the Remote
Gateway 9150 unit. Therefore, you cannot configure the same DN to local
calling keys on multiple digital telephone sets connected to one Remote
Gateway 9150 unit.
Refer to “DN Discovery” in the Reach Line Card Installation and
Administration Guide (NTP 555-8421-210) for further details.
In addition, local trunk numbers cannot be pre-dialed. You must wait for the
local trunk dial tone before dialing the number.
Relationship between host-controlled and locally controlled modes
Both the host-controlled and locally controlled modes can be used at the same
time. When placing or receiving calls, the call modes are controlled by the
following telephone keys:
!
the host call appearance key (also known as the primary DN key)
!
the local call appearance key (can sometimes be referred to as the
secondary DN key)
Host call appearance key
The host call appearance key is the main key you use to place and receive calls.
For example, if someone from Finance at Head Office calls you, the call rings on
this key. Similarly, if you need to call someone in Payroll at Head Office, you
place the call on this key.
