January 2005 Using Remote Gateway 9150 stations
What controls the online and offline modes
The online and offline modes can be controlled by one or both of the following:
!
the online/offline schedule configured for your site on the RLC at the host
PBX
!
special prefix (SPRE) codes configured on the Remote Gateway 9150 unit
at your site
Online/offline schedule at host PBX
If telephone service costs are an issue, your telecom network administrator
defines an online/offline schedule on the RLC port assigned to your site. The
times that your site is scheduled to be put into online or offline mode are
processed by the host PBX.
For example, if your normal business day is from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. from
Monday to Friday, the schedule for your site instructs the host PBX to put all
stations at your site into online mode during those times. For all other time
periods, all stations are in offline mode and, therefore, disconnected from the
host PBX.
Note: If you initiate a call on a host call appearance key on any station, then full
functionality is allowed even if the time period is outside the automatic offline
periods defined on the RLC.
SPRE codes used at your site
If SPRE codes have been defined on the Remote Gateway 9150 unit at your site,
your site can control the times that stations are put into online or offline modes.
You do this by entering one of the following codes on any digital telephone at
your site:
!
Online SPRE code
!
Offline SPRE code
It is recommended that one person at your site be designated as the person
responsible for putting the Remote Gateway 9150 unit (and all stations) into
online mode at the beginning of the business day, and into offline mode at the
end of the day.
For information about going online or offline, refer to “Going online and
offline”, on page 277.
