Remote Office 9110/9115
Overview
Remote Office 9110 and 9115 use the award-winning technology
1
to extend a single digital telephone to a
remote location, This gives a remote worker full access to the corporate telephone network as if they were at
the main corporate site. Remote Office enables a user at a remote location to access all of the system
resources, such as unified messaging, the corporate directory and corporate dialing plans. In addition, all of
the 450+ features enjoyed in the main office are available remotely, features such as “Boss-Secretary
filtering”, “Audio Conferencing” and “Automatic Call Distribution”.
Remote Office 9110 and 9115 uses either traditional circuit switched connections or packet switched VoIP
connections. Unlike many other IP Telephony products from other vendors, Remote Office 9110 and 9115 are
able to ensure voice quality and reliability because they can place and receive phone calls over analogue PSTN
lines, as well as over VoIP packet switched networks. When IP performance levels drop, voice quality can be
maintained by moving live, active calls from the IP network onto the analogue fallback line without dropping
the call.
Remote Office 9110 is a small circuit board mounted in the footstand of a digital telephone and the Remote
Office 9115 is a small module external to the telephone. The following table shows the digital telsets which
Remote Office supports.
