Configuring the RLC Standard 4.0
How the online/offline table works
Use the online/offline table to schedule the times that the RLC makes a PSTN
connection available to an RLC port. The online/offline table gives you the
ability to ensure that potentially costly PSTN/ISDN or long distance connections
do not stay up after business hours. If the offline command occurs while the
connection is in use, Remote Gateway 9100 Series system users at the remote
site can override table settings.
Notes:
„
When a remote unit is in the offline mode, users cannot place host-
controlled calls with that unit.
„
Users can override the online/offline table to establish or terminate a
connection to the network.
Online/offline configuration example
The online/offline table allows you to make up to eight entries per day, every
day of the week, for each remote site. The following is an example of a standard
online/offline program for an RLC port.
