System resources management
The RLC offers the following methods to manage system resources:
„
QoS Transitioning Technology
„
Host connection management
— Configurable trunk connection accessibility (permanent or on-demand)
— Call timers for managing of on-demand trunks
„
Online/offline scheduling
„
Configurable security
QoS Transitioning Technology
Traffic congestion often results in poor voice quality or lost connections on IP
networks. For a description of the RLC’s QoS Transitioning Technology, refer to
“Adjustable QoS using QoS Transitioning Technology” on page 19.
For detailed information on configuring QoS Transitioning Technology
thresholds, refer to “Configuring QoS” on page 211.
Host connection management
Manage connections to the host PBX in the following three ways:
„
Configure an Online/Offline table for the remote site to determine when it
can and cannot place or receive calls through the host PBX.
„
Define a trunk connection as permanent or on-demand so that it is one of
the following:
— Always connected (permanent)
— Connected when bandwidth required (on-demand)
„
Define minimum call duration and idle timers to address call-establishment
and PSTN charges, if the trunk connection is defined as on-demand.
