Installation and Administration Guide 47September 2001 Remote Office 9150 descriptionOther supported featuresFax supportThe Remote Office 9150 unit contains one analog port that can be used to sendand receive faxes. You can send and receive faxes in both host- and locallycontrolled call modes over the IP or PSTN. Faxes are sent uncompressed (that is,you require 64 Kbps of bandwidth).To support faxing through the host PBX, the fax port on the Remote Office 9150unit must be associated with a port on the RLC that is configured on the hostPBX with voice capability.Emergency activation codeIf your community has implemented an emergency service number (such as 911)to call the police, fire department, or ambulance, you can configure that numberon the Remote Office 9150 unit. This allows users in your office to dial theemergency number and be connected directly to the local emergency dispatchcenter through the PSTN. The call is automatically routed through the localPSTN without having to dial a local trunk access code.When you configure an emergency activation code on the Remote Office 9150unit, you also prevent the call from being automatically routed through the hostPBX, which could be in a different city. An emergency call that is routedthrough the host PBX can result in emergency support being dispatched to thewrong location.ATTENTION If you are using only the IP network to route calls, you shouldmake emergency service calls on a telephone that is directlyconnected to a PSTN line. If you make an emergency servicecall from a station that is connected to the Remote Office 9150unit, the call is routed through the host PBX, which could be ina different city.
