72 RLC Installation and Administration Guide
Planning for RLC installation Standard 4.0
Deployment options
You can install and configure the RLC on the host PBX and remote units at
remote sites with the following network capabilities:
„
only the IP network (Voice over IP)
„
only the PSTN (for example, ISDN BRI trunks)
„
both networks (required for QoS Transitioning Technology functionality)
If you choose not to use both networks initially, this section suggests how you
can gradually phase-in Voice over IP and QoS Transitioning Technology
functionality.
Port and station assignment
Regardless of which network you use initially to route calls, you must plan RLC
port and remote site user station assignments. Assign a single user to each RLC
port, unless you are using the RLC’s port sharing functionality (refer to “Port
sharing options” on page 20). Use the following forms to plan port and station
assignment:
„
“Reach Line Card Connection Information—16 ports” on page 330
„
“Reach Line Card Connection Information—32 ports” on page 335
ATTENTION!
Even if you plan to route calls over the PSTN only, you
must assign an IP address and IP gateway to the RLC and
remote units to allow remote administration.
